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.

Learn more about WaterDecyl Glucoside is a glucose-based surfactant and emulsion stabilizer. It is created by reacting glucose with the fatty acids from plants.
Surfactants help clean the skin by trapping oil, sebum, and dirt to be washed away. As an emulsion stabilizer, it stabilizes the ingredients in a product by preventing them from separating.
This ingredient is biodegradable and non-toxic. This ingredient is commonly found in baby shampoos.
Decyl Glucoside is sometimes used to stabilize the UV filter Tinosorb.

Soul Apothecary Calm + Soothe Oat Cleanser 22 ingredients
Really good facial wash. I have an oily skin and sometimes I need an effective alternative to Salicylic cleansers. This is one of my all time faves.
This cleanser contains six calming and soothing ingredients: oat, centella asiatica, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA, and saccharide isomerate, which are highlighted on the bottle. I can definitely testify that this cleanser is hydrating due to its hydrating support ingredients.
