Dimethicone

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.

Water

Cyclohexasiloxane

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

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

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

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

Octocrylene

Sodium Chloride

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Aluminum Hydroxide

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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.

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

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

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.

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

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

It's a very popular solvent and viscosity controller. It also helps the components to absorb deeper into the skin and it is a humectant. It's considered to be safe and it is even used in food!
