Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water (aqua Plain old water
2 kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color
3 magnesium aluminum silicate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation
4 titanium dioxide (ci 77891 Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
5 bentonite Helps stabilize the product formulation
6 mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
7 tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.
8 citrus grandis (grapefruit) fruit extract
9 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
10 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
11 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
12 sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
13 maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
14 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
15 tin oxide A colorant that can add a pearl-like appearance to the formulation
16 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
17 chlorphenesin A preservative
18 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
19 fragrance (parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
20 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
21 vitamin c One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
