caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
ethylhexyl palmitate	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua (water	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	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
4	coco-caprylate/caprate	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture
5	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
6	glyceryl stearate	An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
7	candelilla/jojoba/rice bran polyglyceryl-3 esters
8	trichilia emetica (mafura) seed butter
9	ethylhexyl palmitate	An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture

17	polysilicone-11	A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
18	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
19	aminobutyric acid	Has been shown to support wound healing and skin barrier function when used topically in rats.
