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.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Methylparaben is a preservative and is a paraben. It is used to prevent the growth of fungus, mold, and other harmful bacteria. Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in both cosmetics and food.
Methylparaben can be synthetically created. It can also be found naturally in some fruits, such as blueberries.
Oftentimes, Methylparaben is combined with other parabens to help increase the shelf life.
The safety of Methylparaben is currently being studied. While ongoing studies are looking into the safety of parabens, the results have been very mixed. Some studies have not found Methylparaben to be harmful.

Another component, glycyrrhizin, has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. This may make licorice root extract effective at treating acne. However, more research is needed to support this.
Liquiritin is one of the flavone compounds found in licorice. It has been found to help lighten skin by preventing tyrosinase from reacting with tyrosine. When the two react, protein is converted to melanin. Melanin is the substance in your body that gives your features pigmentation.

Excellent lotion
Possibly the best of Hadalabo's lotions for my dry skin in a hot, humid climate.
Naturie Hatomugi Skin Lotion 11 ingredients
Cons: Worst part of using this is having to transfer it to a smaller bottle. Half a liter isn’t hard to pour from, but not convenient.
Pros: Works amazingly. My skin is so dry I’d scratch myself by accident and my arms would be covered with white scratch marks. Currently using a mist spray and even that’s effective. 500mL would last weeks, I’m sure. An absolute fave! So much that I keep a handy Show more
5/5 great toner overall
I get it when they say this is the most viral hatomugi/milk toner in Japan. (Context: "hatomugi" refers to Job's Tears in Japanese, and basically every Japanese milk toner includes hatomugi extract.)
