Ingredient	What it does
¹Yeast	moisturizing
²sodium hyaluronate	A humectant moisturizer; proven to boost skin's moisture content, reduce inflammation, have cell-communicating abilitites & help prevent moisture loss
³ascorbic acid	an antioxidant proven to give you photoprotection by preventing oxidation & inflammation; boosts collagen production; can lighten hyperpigmentation if the concentration is high enough; also used as pH adjuster/buffering agent; fragrance ingredient
⁴urea	Humectant moisturizer; improves penetration of other ingredients; minimizes water loss; speeds up skin renewal; adjusts pH of a product. If you're in the UK and looking for urea products, check the ingredient list for "carbamide" instead. It's the same thing.
⁵trehalose	humectant moisturizer; skin-repairing ingredient
⁶titanium dioxide	A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen; sometimes used as a pigment & for its opacity
⁷silica	Absorbent powder & thickening agent; gives products that "dry-touch" feel; silica is a main component of collagen
⁸potassium phosphate	buffering agent & pH adjuster
⁹Potassium Cetyl Phosphate	emulsifier; surfactant
¹⁰pentylene glycol	synthetic humectant moisturizer; also a solvent & anti-microbial preservative
¹¹maltodextrin	binding agent; may increase anti-aging properties of other ingredients when used together; anti-irritant
¹²Glycerin	A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers
¹³Glyceryl Polyacrylate	film-former
¹⁴fragrance	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.
¹⁵disodium phosphate	used to adjust a formula's pH
¹⁶citric acid	mainly used as a cleaning agent & preservative; pH adjuster; in higher concentration it's an AHA (in peels & antiaging products)
¹⁷Cetyl Alcohol	emollient moisturizing, emulsifying, emulsion stabilizing, foam boosting, masks the scent of other ingredients in a formula , opacifying aka makes the formula less clear, cleansing surfactant, viscosity controlling
¹⁸Cetyl Phosphate	emulsifier; surfactant
¹⁹Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride	Coconut derived emollient moisturizer, sometimes used as a thickener. Rich in fatty acids that replenish skin; has a silky, dry oil feel
²⁰caprylyl glycol	An alcohol, derived from a plant which is used as an emollient and coconut derived preservative.
²¹butylene 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
²²ascorbyl palmitate	A moisturizing vitamin C ester, fat/lipid soluble, antioxidant and preservative
²³algin	derived from seaweed, used as a emulsifier, barrier, thickener and stabilizer.
²⁴CI 77891	A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen; sometimes used as a pigment & for its opacity
