Skincare

Your face cream should consist of these ingredients:

Humectants

They are substances that attract water from both the air and the deeper layers of your skin in order to hydrate the stratum corneum (top layer of skin).

Examples: Glycerin

Hyaluronic acid

Sodium hyaluronate

Aloe

Panthenol

Honey

Occlusives

They are ingredients that form a protective barrier on your skin to prevent moisture loss. So they trap the water that was attracted by your humectants, and keep it locked in. Examples:Shea butter

Jojoba oil

Coconut oil

Lanolin

Beeswax

Insoluble Sunscreen Filters

Most sunscreen ingredients are hormone disruptors, so it's important to look for insoluble filters—safe sunscreen ingredients with large particle sizes that don't get absorbed into the body.

Examples: Zinc oxide

Tinosorb M (bemotrizinol)

Tinosorb S (bisoctrizole)

Tinosorb A2B (tris-biphenyl triazine)
