Silicones

Sulfates

#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

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.

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!

Glycerin

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Trehalose

Sodium Hyaluronate

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.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Cetearyl Olivate

Polyacrylamide

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Laureth-7

Carbomer

Sodium Hydroxide

Chlorphenesin

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

CI 42090

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.
