#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/Eau

Propanediol

The most widely used silicone. It improves skin condition a lot. It makes the skin smooth and pleasant to touch, gives it a healthy gloss and forms a protective barrier. It temporarily fills small fine lines and wrinkles hiding them and making your skin look better. In hair care products it's used as hair conditioning component. It smoothes the hair and gives them a very pleasant silky gloss. It protects the hair from aggressive surfactants like SLS.

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Pentylene Glycol

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.

Benzyl Alcohol

Laureth-4

Water

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!

Widely used and effective physical sunscreen. It protects the skin from both UVB and UVA radiation. It is well researched and it is safe if used correctly. But it has one disadvantage: products with this component may leave a whitish tint.

Titanium Dioxide

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.
