4	sodium pca	Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
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	polyacrylate crosspolymer-6
7	azelaic acid	Is produced by a yeast that lives on normal human skin. It is used in medicine as a topical treatment for mild to moderate acne. It has a mild exfoliating effect. It can also help reduce hyperpigmentation, helps calm down inflammation and can help neutralize free radicals
8	lactococcus ferment lysate	Consists of remains of dead bacteria cells. Is likely helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals in skin
9	zinc pca	A compound that combines zinc with a hydrating ingredient PCA. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Can help calm down inflammation in skin. Could be helpful in reducing the formation of free radicals in skin. Might help to reduce fine lines in wrinkles, but solid evidence is missing

12	bisabolol	An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin.

Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties

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)
16	sodium benzoate	A preservative
17	sodium chloride	Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
18	sodium metabisulfite	A preservative
