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
²titanium dioxide	A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen; sometimes used as a pigment & for its opacity
³propylene glycol	solvent; humectant; gives a product "slip"; helps "carry" other ingredients into the skin; also enhances the efficacy of preservatives
⁴perlite	mainly used as an absorbant (in products targeting oily skin)
⁵PEG-100 Stearate	a moisturizing emollient & emulsifier
⁶menthol	Anti-bacterial astringent; fragrance; that cooling feeling is your skin being irritated
⁷menthoxypropanediol	cooling agent; used in lip plumpers; primarily as a fragrance; twice as strong as menthol
⁸kaolin	a clay much like any other, absorbs excess oil and dirt from skin. High in potassium and can be used in cleansers to give a silkier feel. Also has anti-caking properties; said to be ideal for sensitive skin.
⁹Glycerin	A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers
¹⁰glyceryl stearate	self-emulsifying emollient & thickening agent, the higher up an ingredient list it is, the thicker the formula
¹¹ginseng	reduces photo aging and wrinkles, increases collagen production; emollient moisturizer; however, there are conflicting reports that ginseng is effective at all
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.

¹⁴decyl glucoside	A surfactant for sensitive skin; mild penetration enhancer
¹⁵dextrin	Absorbent; Bulking agent; Binding agent; Hydrophilic Thickener

²⁰Alcohol Denat.	masking, solvent to dissolve things in a formula, viscosity controlling
²¹Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract	hair & skin conditioner
²²Magnesium Aluminum Silicate	a natural mica used as an alternative to talc, as a binding agent; gives a smooth feel
²³Butyrospermum Parkii	emollient & occlusive anti-inflammatory moisturizer; contains allantoin, phytosterols, fatty acids & vitamins A,D&E BUT may break out some people due to its richness
