#1 solvent in many skincare and haircare products. Usually, creams contain 40 - 70% of water, while toners and micellar water may have up to 90%. Manufacturers purify and deionize it before putting it into the product to make the formula last longer. As for the benefits, it is neither good nor bad. It's a neutral component itself, but it's a very important part of a product.

Aqua/Water

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Propanediol

One of the best-known humectants. It helps to hydrate skin very fast, but the effect doesn't last too long. That's why some people may feel dryness after 3 - 4 hours and have to re-apply skincare products once again. Works even in low concentrations but becomes very effective at 10 - 40% concentration. It's used in cosmetics for more than 50 years and it is researched very well. A great component to counter dryness!

Cholesterol

Very popular preservative. It has been used in cosmetics for a long time and it's very well researched. Considered to be safe for skin.

Phenoxyethanol

It is a preservative and product's formula stabilizer. In other words, it helps the product to stay in its original shape. It prevents the components from chemical reactions with each other. It also increases the penetration of the components. It is very well researched and considered to be safe.

Disodium EDTA

Citric acid belongs to alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). It's a good exfoliant. It helps to get rid of dead skin cells and thus to prevent acne. It&rsquo;s not as effective as glycolic or lactic acids but still, it's a nice ingredient in a product.

Citric Acid

Tetrasodium EDTA

Phytosphingosine

Xanthan Gum

This component is a preservative that is very often used in a combination with phenoxyethanol to boost the effectiveness. Ethylhexylglycerin also temporarily improves skin condition, making it softer.

Makes the product smell nice. It may be unsafe for skin because "fragrance" is a generic term. It may include a mixture of many different chemicals, sometimes not good for your skin. That's why it's one of the most popular causes of contact allergy.
