6 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

13 hydroxyacetophenone Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives
14 sorbitan olivate Helps oil and water mix together
15 paeonia suffruticosa root extract
16 scutellaria baicalensis root extract A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties
17 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
18 acrylates / c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together

21 allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated

29 adenosine Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin
30 pistacia lentiscus (mastic) gum A tree rasin that could temporarily tighten the skin and might help regulate sebum production, but the research on its effectiveness in skin is lacking
31 glyceryl polyacrylate Helps to create a nice product texture and spread the product more easily on the skin
32 laminaria saccharina extract A seaweed extract that contains sugars and can be helpful in attracting water to the upper layers of the skin if used in high enough concentrations
33 alteromonas ferment extract A marine extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It is claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties but research is lacking
34 chamomilla recutita Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating
35 (matricaria) flow extract, The ingredient is not recognized
36 cucumis sativus (cucumber) 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
37 pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
38 sea whip extract Might help neutrlize free radicals, calm down inflammation, and attract water to the upper layer of the skin
39 hyaluronic acid One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation

43 coccinia indica fruit extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect helping neutralize free radicals in skin
44 leuconostoc / radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
45 aloe barbadensis flower extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect
46 solanum melongena (eggplant) fruit extract Eggplant fruit extract. Might have some anti-oxidant effect
47 curcuma longa (turmeric) root extract A plant extract that can contain an active compound curcumin, that may have some anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin, but solid research is lacking and the typical concentration used in skincare products is too low. Can be an irritant
48 ocimum balsilicum (basil) flower / leaf extract Used as a fragrance. Canbe irritating
49 ocimum sanctum leaf extract A plant extract that is rich in a fragrance compound eugenol that is a frequent allergen and can be irritating. It might also contain anti-oxidants to help neutralize free radicals
50 retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
