Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil An emollient that helps soften the skin
3 algae extract Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet
4 glycerine One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
5 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
6 cetearyl glucoside Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture
7 arachidyl alcohol Used to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency
8 arachidyl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together
9 behenyl alcohol Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient
10 yeast extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin
11 prunus persica extract
12 , prunus armeniaca extract, The ingredient is not recognized
13 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
14 lavendula angustifolia (lavender) flower water
15 ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
16 phospholipids Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product
17 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
18 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.
19 cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide
20 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
21 rosa damascena flower water Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating
22 xylityl glucoside Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function
23 aveena sativa
24 protein, The ingredient is not recognized
25 capryloyl glycine
26 octanediol
27 anhydroxylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function
28 lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
29 vitex agnus castus extract
30 aloe barbedensis leaf juice 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
31 xylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function
32 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
33 peg-400
34 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
35 beta glucan Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles
36 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
37 ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate
38 cyclodextrin A type of sugar that is used to support delivery of active ingredients and can enhance their penetration into the skin without disrupting the skin's barrier
39 ascorbic acid One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
40 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
41 vitus vinifera (grapeseed) extract A plant extract that contains resveratrol and other anti-oxidant compounds that can help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation in skin and even out its tone. Can be also used to stabilize the product formulation
42 dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline Is claimed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, as well as work as an anti-oxidant. There is however not enough evidence for its effectiveness
