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.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
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.

The OMI Brotherhood Verdio UV Moisture Gel N SPF 50+ PA++++ 33 ingredients
Looks greasy (NOT dewy, full on greasy) and stung around my eyes. I was so excited to use it because the value is great, no alcohol no fragrance, water resistant. everything about this looks good on paper until you actually try it on.
I used this all summer as a body spf/moisturizer and it’s close to HG status. Beautiful glow, waterproof, no smell, never feels heavy on the skin. I never burned even with limited reapplication. I always use a different spf for my face so can’t speak to that but I have generally sensitive skin and had no issues. Not to mention a bottle seems to last a long time
