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

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
