Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 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a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active).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
2 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.
3 isodecyl neopentanoate An emollient that helps soften the skin. It also forms a protective on its surface to reduce water loss.
4 isononyl isononanoate Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
5 coconut alkanes An emollient that helps soften the skin
6 ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer Used to create a thicker product consistency
7 ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
8 silica dimethyl silylate Used to create a thicker product consistency
9 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
10 glucomannan
11 coco-caprylate/caprate Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture
12 butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer Used to create a gel-like product texture
13 acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer
14 trihydroxystearin
15 bht A preservative
