The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water. Expand to read more Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths!) is drying. One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). Like this, the products can stay more stable over time. GHK-Cu is a copper-peptide complex found naturally in yucky bodily fluids (plasma, saliva, and urine) It has unique wound healing properties by stimulating the breakdown of unhealthy, too large collagen in scar tissue and stimulating nice and healthy collagen production afterwards It stimulates the production of several important skin-identical ingredients (e.g. collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans) It has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect There are a few promising studies showing GHK-Cu can improve skin elasticity, clarity, firmness and reduce lines and wrinkles It can improve hair growth by enlarging hair follicles (and bigger follicles produce longer, thicker hair) There are some urban legends about possible overdosing or facial hair problems (read more in geeky details) A clear, colorless and odorless, highly volatile (meaning it does not absorb into the skin but evaporates from it) liquid that's used as an emollient. It gives a nice non-oily light skin feel and it can improve the slip of the formula without leaving a tacky residue behind. It's also popular in make-up products as its volatility makes mascaras and foundations last longer. If that would not be enough, it's also an excellent solvent, and it's a regular not only on the ingredients lists of make-ups but also on makeup removers. A super commonly used 5 unit long, cyclic structured silicone that is water-thin and does not stay on the skin but evaporates from it (called volatile silicone). Similar to other silicones, it gives skin and hair a silky, smooth feel. It's often combined with the non-volatile (i.e. stays on the skin) dimethicone as the two together form a water-resistant, breathable protective barrier on the skin without a negative tacky feel. A natural moisturizer that’s also in our skin A super common, safe, effective and cheap molecule used for more than 50 years Not only a simple moisturizer but knows much more: keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects against irritation, helps to restore barrier Effective from as low as 3% with even more benefits for dry skin at higher concentrations up to 20-40% High-glycerin moisturizers are awesome for treating severely dry skin It's a helper ingredient that improves the freeze-thaw stability of products It's als what‑it‑does cell-communicating ingredient | soothing | antioxidant emollient | solvent skin-identical ingredient | moisturizer/humectant irritancy, com. moisturizer/humectant | solvent emulsifying | surfactant/cleansing antioxidant | preservative emollient | viscosity controlling | emulsifying | surfactant/cleansing emollient | moisturizer/humectant antimicrobial/antibacterial soothing | antioxidant moisturizer/humectant antioxidant | skin brightening abrasive/scrub cell-communicating ingredient | moisturizer/humectant antioxidant | cell-communicating ingredient
