Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
3 myristyl nicotinate
4 butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
5 di-c12-15 alkyl fumarate Used to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
6 caprylic/capric/myristic/stearic triglyceride Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin
7 c12-15 alkyl benzoate Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth
8 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
9 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
10 steareth-2 Helps oil and water mix together
11 myristyl myristate An emollient. Is not recommended for acne-prone skin as it can be comedogenic
12 dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
13 hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate
14 steareth-21 Helps oil and water mix together
15 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
16 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
17 retinol Two steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinol is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating
18 retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
19 copper tripeptide-1 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Can help speed up wound healing
20 aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
21 resveratrol Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as even out the skin tone
22 sorbitan oleate Helps oil and water mix together
23 hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiables Help soften the upper layer of the skin
24 caesalpinia spinosa gum
25 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
26 hexapeptide-3
27 jojoba esters An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function
28 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
29 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
30 sodium ascorbate
31 bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
32 enteromorpha compressa extract
33 salix nigra (willow) bark extract
34 tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
35 zingiber officinale (ginger) root extract A plant extract that can contain an irritating essential oil. Might have some anti-oxidant effect, but evidence is lacking
36 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
37 acrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer Helps water and oil mix together and create gel-like textures
38 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
39 stearyl alcohol An emollient that helps soften the skin
40 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
41 isohexadecane Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent
42 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
43 polysorbate 80 Helps water and oil mix together
44 butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
45 bht A preservative
46 peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together
47 potassium sorbate A preservative
48 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
49 parfum (fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
50 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
51 benzoic acid A preservative
52 sorbic acid A preservative
53 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
