Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	squalane	An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
2	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
3	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.
4	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
5	solanum lycopersicum (tomato) fruit extract
6	rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract	Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant
7	hydroxymethoxyphenyl decanone	Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
8	bht	A preservative
