³squalane	light emollient veg oil, can be antibacterial & moisturizing; might break out some people

¹¹hydrogenated palm glycerides	Emollient moisturizer; emulsifier; makes the product more viscous
¹²Glutamylamidoethyl Indole	skin protectant
¹³Glycerin	A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers
¹⁴glyceryl stearate	self-emulsifying emollient & thickening agent, the higher up an ingredient list it is, the thicker the formula

¹⁶ethylhexyl isononanoate	emollient
¹⁷disodium EDTA	preservative & product stabilizer; helps the topical penetration of active ingredients; chelating agent

²¹Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride	Coconut derived emollient moisturizer, sometimes used as a thickener. Rich in fatty acids that replenish skin; has a silky, dry oil feel
²²butylene glycol	solvent; penetration enhancer; humectant moisturizer; in cleansing creams it dissolves dirt, avoids the product from drying too quickly during the removal stage & helps formulas spread better
²³Biosaccharide Gum-1	moisturizing
²⁴bisabolol	anti-irritant; reduces dry & damaged skin flaking; restores suppleness; also a fragrance. It also increases the skin penetration of other cosmetic ingredients.
²⁵ascorbyl palmitate	A moisturizing vitamin C ester, fat/lipid soluble, antioxidant and preservative
²⁶biosaccharide gum	moisturizing & skin soothing ingredient; anti-irritant; creates a moisture-binding film on the skin
