Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 hamamelis virginiana water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
2 aqua (water Plain old water
3 citrus grandis peel oil A plant oil with high content of volatile compounds that, especially when exposed to air, can cause allergic reactions and irritate the skin
4 passiflora quadrangularis fruit extract
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 sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
7 citrus medica limonum fruit extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and cause photosensitivity
8 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
9 algin Used to thicken product formulation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
10 ananas sativas fruit extract A fruit extract that might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin, but there is no evidence for any other benefits to the skin
11 vitis vinifera fruit extract A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin, but is less potent than the extract from the seeds
12 dehydroacetic acid A preservative
13 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
14 chondrus crispus Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency
15 carrageenan Helps thicken the product formula and create a nice product formulation
16 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
17 potassium sorbate A preservative
18 sodium bisulfite
19 sorbic acid A preservative
20 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
21 citral A fragrance with a lemon scent. A likely irritant
22 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
23 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
24 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
25 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
26 tartaric acid An AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid). It oxidizes quickly which makes it less effective in skincare formulations. It can support skin's barrier and moisture levels
