Reading the label on a skin care product can be overwhelming. There may be a long list of items you aren’t even sure how to pronounce. It’s even harder to know what they do.
Ever wanted a dictionary to help translate skin care labels? Look no further.
This skimmable glossary covers common — and not-so-common — skin care ingredient staples so you can feel confident knowing what you’re putting on your skin.
Is it evidence-based?
Along with definitions, we’ve also included a quick guide to let you know whether each ingredient is evidence-based. We consulted Healthline’s medical review team so you can choose scientifically sound ingredients.
Some are a clear yes, some only have evidence supporting topical or oral use, and others may have mixed, emerging, or limited evidence. Still, others may have historical or cultural uses that have stood the test of time.
