Ingredient	What it does
¹salicylic acid	induces exfoliation in oily areas of skin; oil-soluble so can penetrate pores to exfoliate inside; prevents clogged pores; mildly anti-inflammatory; higher concentrations help fade post-acne marks
²Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract	emollient moisturizer
³propylene glycol	solvent; humectant; gives a product "slip"; helps "carry" other ingredients into the skin; also enhances the efficacy of preservatives
⁴portulaca oleracea	may have anti-inflammatory or analgesic; humectant moisturizing properties
⁵pentylene glycol	synthetic humectant moisturizer; also a solvent & anti-microbial preservative
⁶lactic acid	the most moisturizing of AHAs; whitening astringent; exfoliant
⁷hydrogenated castor oil	used as an oily base ingredient; with PEG it's a non-ionic surfactant and is used as a solubilizer for essential oils.
⁸houttuynia cordata	Used for its purifying and revitalizing properties; astringent; anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties
⁹Hexanediol	a solvent to dissolve things in a formula
¹⁰Glycerin	A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers
¹¹glycolic acid	Proven to reduce fine lines & wrinkles; hyperpigmentation; smooths, exfoliates & thickens skin; increases skin hydration & elasticity; good melasma treatment
¹²fragrance	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.
¹³disodium EDTA	preservative & product stabilizer; helps the topical penetration of active ingredients; chelating agent
¹⁴centella asiatica	antibacterial, anti-psoriatic, and wound-healing properties
¹⁵butylene 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
¹⁶Arnica Montana Flower	moisturizing
¹⁷(lemon)	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.
¹⁸Solanum Lycopersicum	Used as an astringent; can be irritating
¹⁹Salvia Hispanica Seed	a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid. A good source of antioxidants.
²⁰Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract	emollient moisturizer; may have antioxidant properties & could reduce sebum (however the sources that suggest this are biased)
²¹ARTEMISIA ABSINTHIUM	May have antibacterial properties, but can also be irritating. Other sources claim this extract has NO benefit for skin.
²²Achillea millefolium	causes skin irritation & photosensitivity, studies that say this is an anti-inflammatory were performed in vitro, there is little research showing this ingredient to have any benefit for skin
²³Citrus aurantium dulcis	fragrant skin irritant; no topical benefits
