Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
rosa damascena flower oil Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	6% - 9%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
lactobacillus/arundinaria gigantea ferment filtrate Fermented bamboo. It is mainly used to improve the product texture	3.8% - 5.8%
citrus aurantium amara flower oil Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	3% - 4.4%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	2.4% - 3.7%
decyl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating	2% - 3%
colloidal oatmeal Helps to restore skin barrier function, soften the upper layer of the skin and calm down inflammation	1.8% - 2.7%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	1.4% - 2.1%
sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer	1% - 1.5%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.85% - 1.3%
garcinia mangostana fruit extract A fruit extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties	0.55% - 1.25%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.5% - 1.15%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
echinacea purpurea extract Plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating	0.45% - 1%
cucumis sativus fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect	0.4% - 0.9%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.75%
rosa canina fruit extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties, but evidence is lacking	0.2% - 0.7%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.1% - 0.45%
sodium phytate Used to stabilize product formulations	0.1% - 0.45%
simmondsia chinensis seed extract Plant oil that helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.55%
