Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %75
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
Est. %6
Function
Origin
Glycerin

The most popular moisturizing ingredient in the world. It is a powerful humectant – cheap yet very effective.

Sodium Stearate
Est. %4
Function

Sorbitol
Est. %3

Sodium Laurate
Est. %2
Function
Origin
Sodium Laurate
Sodium Oleate
Est. %1.5
Function
Origin

Function
Origin
Sodium CocoateSodium cocoate is a salt derived from the fatty acids contained in coconut oil. It is frequently used in soaps and other cleansing products due to its ability to remove excess oil and dirt from the skin with the help of water. As it makes oil droplets disperse in water, sodium cocoate also assists in creating emulsions.
