Ingredient	What it does
¹hyaluronic acid	A humectant moisturizer; proven to boost skin's moisture content, reduce inflammation, have cell-communicating abilitites & help prevent moisture loss
²Yeast	moisturizing
³triethanolamine	adjusts pH; emulsifier; surfactant; masking fragrance; buffering agent
⁴propylene glycol	solvent; humectant; gives a product "slip"; helps "carry" other ingredients into the skin; also enhances the efficacy of preservatives
⁵lemon extract	Lemon extract in skincare is a known skin sensitizer and irritant. It can have antibacterial properties but it’s incredibly irritating, as lemon juice has a pH of 2, which is very acidic and its use is linked with damage to your skin’s acid mantle. Lemon extract/juice/peel/oil does way more harm than good. Using lemon juice on your skin, or products containing lemon extract, lemon oil, lemon peel and even other citrus extracts and peel oils (like orange, mandarin, grapefruit, etc.) can cause brown discolorations and red rash looking irritation when you go out into the sun. This is a reaction known as phytophotodermatitis.
⁶fragrance	Fragrance in skin care is like spraying perfume on your face. Smells nice, but potentially irritating and damaging to your skin's acid mantle. Especially if these ingredients are high up on the ingredient list.
⁷collagen	humectant moisturizer; film-former; has never been shown to have a direct effect on producing or building collagen in skin
⁸citric acid	mainly used as a cleaning agent & preservative; pH adjuster; in higher concentration it's an AHA (in peels & antiaging products)
⁹centella asiatica	antibacterial, anti-psoriatic, and wound-healing properties
¹⁰butylene 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
¹¹algae	marine compounds are emollient antioxidants; some claim to brighten skin; some are simply skin conditioners, known to be highly comedogenic, thickeners/emulsifiers in a product
¹²aloe	emollient moisturizer with anti-inflammatory; antioxidant, & antibacterial qualities
¹³cactus extract	due to its ferulic acid content, it can stimulate collagen production & has antioxidant properties. Cactus flower extract is also an antioxidant, with moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties
¹⁴calendula	may have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties
¹⁵Glycerine	A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers
