Ingredient	What it does
¹sodium hyaluronate	A humectant moisturizer; proven to boost skin's moisture content, reduce inflammation, have cell-communicating abilitites & help prevent moisture loss
²witch hazel	fragrant astringent; antioxidant & anti-irritant properties (some forms can be irritating, click to read why)
³Tropolone	moisturizing
⁴triethanolamine	adjusts pH; emulsifier; surfactant; masking fragrance; buffering agent
⁵titanium dioxide	A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen; sometimes used as a pigment & for its opacity
⁶Synthetic Fluorphlogopite	functions as a bulking agent and a watery viscosity increasing agent
⁷sugar	humectant moisturizer; often used as a preservative substitute for glycerin
⁸sugar maple	moisturizing properties, not the same as glycolic or lactic acids nor does it exfoliate skin
⁹propylene glycol	solvent; humectant; gives a product "slip"; helps "carry" other ingredients into the skin; also enhances the efficacy of preservatives
¹⁰portulaca oleracea	may have anti-inflammatory or analgesic; humectant moisturizing properties
¹¹Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil	emulsifier; surfactant
¹²Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract	moisturizing
¹³Magnolia Liliflora Flower Extract	moisturizing
¹⁴leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate	"natural" preservative; used as an alternative to synthetic preservatives
¹⁵Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract	moisturizing
¹⁶hydrogenated 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.
¹⁷Gypsophila Paniculata Root Extract	moisturizing
¹⁸glycolic acid	Proven to reduce fine lines & wrinkles; hyperpigmentation; smooths, exfoliates & thickens skin; increases skin hydration & elasticity; good melasma treatment
¹⁹fragrance	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.
²⁰disodium EDTA	preservative & product stabilizer; helps the topical penetration of active ingredients; chelating agent
²¹caprylyl glycol	An alcohol, derived from a plant which is used as an emollient and coconut derived preservative.
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
²³Arnica Montana Flower	moisturizing
²⁴Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract	astringent, moisturizer
²⁵gold	Gold is a well-known irritant and skin sensitizer, especially on the eyelids and rest of the face. Gold won the title of Allergen of the Year in 2001 from The American Contact Dermatitis Society. Claims of gold helping to create electric charges in skin to trigger wrinkle repair have not been proven in any scientific study.
²⁶ARTEMISIA ABSINTHIUM	May have antibacterial properties, but can also be irritating. Other sources claim this extract has NO benefit for skin.
²⁷Bilberry Fruit/Leaf Extract	antioxidant with no proven effect on skin (just internally); marketed as a natural alternative to hydroquinone but no research is available that proves this effect at all
²⁸Achillea 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
²⁹Citrus aurantium dulcis	fragrant skin irritant; no topical benefits
