Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua (water Plain old water
2 kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color
3 aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf extract 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
4 simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.
5 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
6 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
7 bellis perennis (daisy) flower extract A plant extract. Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
8 cetearyl glucoside Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture
9 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
10 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
11 sodium stearoyl glutamate Helps oil and water mix together
12 salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
13 persea gratissima (avocado) oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function
14 santalum spicata (sandalwood australian) wood oil
15 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties
16 coffea arabica (coffee) seed oil Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin
17 dianthus caryophyllus (carnation) flower oil
18 jasminium officinale (jasmine) oil
19 citrus aurantium dulcis (orange sweet) peel oil An essentil oil from orange peel. Potential allergen and can be irritating
20 pelargonium graveolens (cape rose geranium) flower oil An essential oil. Can be irritating. Can become an allergen with oxidation
21 terminalia ferdinandiana (kakadu plum) fruit extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin, but evidence is lacking
22 arctostaphylos uva ursi (bearberry) leaf extract
23 sodium ascorbyl phosphate A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
24 vitamin c 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
25 tocopherol (vitamin e 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
26 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
27 vitamin a 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
28 melissa officinalis (balmint) leaf extract A plant extract that is added for its fragrance. Can be irritating
29 chondrus crispus powder A powder from red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency
30 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
31 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
32 phenethyl alcohol A fragrance. Can be irritating
33 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
34 sorbic acid A preservative
35 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
36 potassium sorbate A preservative
37 sodium benzoate A preservative
38 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
39 benzyl benzoate Fragrance with sweet balsamic smell. Help to preserve products and dissolve other ingredients. Could trigger allergic reactions and be irritating
40 farnesol Added to create a nice product smell. Can be irritating
41 geraniol A fragrance. Can be irritating
42 eugenol A fragrance. Is a likely irritant
43 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
44 citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating
