Water
Est. %22
Function
Origin
The 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.

Sodium 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.
