Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua / water Plain old water
2 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
3 limnanthes alba seed oil This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient.
4 / meadowfoam, seed oil, The ingredient is not recognized
5 isononyl isononanoate Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
6 glycolic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
7 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
8 alcohol denat. Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
9 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
10 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
11 hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid Used to regulate product's pH
12 argania spinosa kernel oil An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties
13 glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
14 calendula officinalis flower extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating
15 cereus grandiflorus flower extract / cactus flower extract A cactus extract that can help neutralize free radicals because it contains a chemical compound called betacyanins and flavonolglycosides. Can help make the surface of the skin dryer helping make pores look smaller for a very short period of time. The concentrations usually used in cosmetics are too small to have any effect
16 haematococcus pluvialis extract Green algae extract that might contain antioxidant astaxanthin
17 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
18 ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
19 hydrolyzed linseed extract Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
20 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
21 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. 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 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
23 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
24 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
25 potassium sorbate A preservative
26 sodium benzoate A preservative
27 salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
28 caramel
29 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
30 parfum / fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
