Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	inci:	The ingredient is not recognized
2	aloe barbadensis leaf juice	Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
3	prunus amygdalus dulcis oil	An emollient that softens the skin
4	simmondsia chinensis 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.
5	cetearyl glucoside	Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture
6	cetearyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
7	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
8	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 inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
9	persea gratissima oil	An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function
10	butyrospermum parkii butter	A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

19	sodium anisate	Used as a fragrance

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)
22	limonene	A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
