1. ↑ solvents ( Water ) solvent

2. ↑ Butylene 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

3. ↑ Amino Acids ( Arginine ) Widely used in moisturizers and emollients because they are thought to help penetrate the skin; have water-binding, antioxidant and wound-healing abilities

4. ↑ preservatives ( Bht ) Used as a preservative or enhances the efficacy of preservatives

5. ↑ silicone ( Stearyl Dimethicone ) gives skin a nice “slip”, film-formers; can “carry” other active ingredients; may clog pores for some (depending on the silicones properties); some are water-soluble, some not; anti-foaming; skin protectant

6. ↑ Peony Root Extract. skin protecting antioxidant; a small amount of research indicates it may inhibit melanin production

7. ↑ Carbomer. Carbomer is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an emulsion stabilizing, gelling, viscosity controlling ingredient.

8. ↑ fatty alcohols ( Cetyl Alcohol ) coconut-derived emollient moisturizer, emulsifies & stabilizes emulsions; thickeners; carrying agents; slightly waxy texture

9. ↑ japanese persimmon ( Diospyros Kaki ) demonstrated anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening effect comparable to that of hydroquinone effect, without any side effects

10. ↑ Dmdm Hydantoin. Dmdm Hydantoin is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an preservative ingredient.

11. ↑ Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate. A widely used preservative that prevents fungal growth in products, it can (rarely) cause sensitizing reactions in some people

12. ↑ Fragrance. 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.

13. ↑ Ginkgo Biloba Extract. antioxidant with some anti-bacterial & anti-fungal effects; can reduce inflammation; no proven effects on cellulite

14. ↑ Glycerin. A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers

15. ↑ Hydroxyethylcellulose. gelling & thickening agent

16. ↑ Squalane. light emollient veg oil, can be antibacterial & moisturizing; might break out some people

17. ↑ Cholesterol. Emollient moisturizer; stabilizes & increases viscosity in a product. According to PETA, it’s derived from lanolin & alternatives include solid complex alcohols (sterols) from plant sources.

18. ↑ Stearic Acid. emulsifier; cleaning agent; stabilizes emulsions; lipophilic thickener; texturizer. Stearic acid is naturally found in skin and is used in cleansers to reduce cleansing-induced damage, aid in moisturization, and replenish with skin-natural lipids.

19. ↑ ceramides ( Ceramide ) can help restore the skin’s barrier system; improves texture, reduces topical irritation, restores moisture

20. ↑ Hydrogenated Lecithin. Hydrogenated Lecithin is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an emulsifying, moisturizing ingredient.

21. ↑ arbutin ( Morus Alba ) lightened skin in in vitro studies, from hydroquinone; it’s unclear how much is needed to show whitening effects. Low concentrations have no effect, while high concentrations of about 5% or more can be as irritating as hydroquinone & may potentially result in unexpected hyperpigmentation

22. ↑ Polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an antistatic, formula binding, film forming ingredient.

23. ↑ C13-14 Isoparaffin. emollient; solvent

24. ↑ Laureth-. surfactant: the higher the number, the more viscosity of the ingredient increases until it becomes a white waxy solid. Some research shows that the lower the value, the higher the risk of irritation.

25. ↑ Vitamin E ( Tocopheryl ) Antioxidant emollient & occlusive moisturizer with proven effects: protects the epidermis from early stages of ultraviolet light damage; increases the efficacy of active sunscreen ingredients; reduces the formation of free radicals upon skin exposure to UVA rays and other sources of skin stress; reduces transepidermal water loss from skin and strengthens the skin’s barrier function; protects the skin barrier’s oil (lipid) balance during the cleansing process; reduces the severity of sunburn; preservative (if at the end of the list)
