Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Est. %2
Function

Water
Est. %1.9
Function
Origin
WaterThe most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Glycerin

PEG-200
Est. %1.5
Function
Origin
PEG-200
Potassium Hydroxide

Est. %1
Function
Origin
PPG-4 Lauryl Ether
Arginine
Est. %0.3
Function

Phenoxyethanol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
