³titanium dioxide	A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen; sometimes used as a pigment & for its opacity
⁴sugar	humectant moisturizer; often used as a preservative substitute for glycerin
⁵stearic 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.
⁶sodium chloride	salt; used in exfoliators or as a thickener/stabilizer in a formula
⁷phytantriol	moisturizing & anti-caking agent
⁸PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone	silicone-based thickener & surfactant
⁹palmitic acid	emollient; emulsifier
¹⁰octyldodecyl neopentanoate	skin-conditioning emollient
¹¹kaolin	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.
¹²Glycerin	A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers
¹³ginseng	reduces photo aging and wrinkles, increases collagen production; emollient moisturizer; however, there are conflicting reports that ginseng is effective at all
¹⁴Ginkgo Biloba Leaf	moisturizing
¹⁵dextrin	Absorbent; Bulking agent; Binding agent; Hydrophilic Thickener
¹⁶Cyclopentasiloxane	Silicone; makes stuff easily spreadable; used as a conditioner, delivery agent, lubricant & solvent. Helps deliver other, heavier, silicones also in a product (like dimethicone)
¹⁷caprylyl glycol	An alcohol, derived from a plant which is used as an emollient and coconut derived preservative.
¹⁸Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract	astringent, moisturizer
¹⁹boron nitride	increases adherence and absorbs oil
²⁰butylene 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
²¹aluminum hydroxide	opacifying & skin protecting agent; also a coloring agent & absorbent
²²(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.
²³Triethoxycaprylylsilane	provides cohesion in the formula
²⁴Citrus aurantium dulcis	fragrant skin irritant; no topical benefits
²⁵ginkgo	antioxidant with some anti-bacterial & anti-fungal effects; can reduce inflammation; no proven effects on cellulite
