Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer. It is used to thicken and improve the texture of products. Due to its properties, it can prevent water and oil ingredients from separating.
Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

This is the only moisturizer I have ever tried that actually helps mattify my otherwise oily/combination skin. It is easy to apply, absorbs well and doesn't dry up my skin. It makes my skin feel moisturized and prevents buildup of oil for several hours. It is also very affordable, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend to people with oily skin.
Good basic moisturizer that doesn't clog pores.

A truly awful product. No hydration whatsoever, feels very drying and strange. Strong smell of chemical filters, no idea what spf rating this would have. First time using it was fine but then i became sensitized to it (first product that I have ever used that I am really sensitive to). Strong burning and redness. Do not buy under any circumstance
