Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua (water Plain old water
2 glycolic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
3 rosa damascena flower water Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating
4 centaurea cyanus flower water
5 aloe barbadensis leaf water Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but data on its effectiveness is lacking. While the majority of the content is plain water, it can contain some goodies like vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and humectants that help attract water into the skin
6 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
7 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
8 triethanolamine Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
9 aminomethyl propanol Used to adjust the pH in formulations
10 panax ginseng root extract A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating
