- Aloe Vera
- Centella Asiatica

We can explore each of these ingredients further to understand how they can be both helpful or harmful.
The first five ingredients on the above list are all commonly used, natural components with a unique set of benefits for the skin. Tocopheryl acetate is a form of Vitamin E, which can help treat stretch marks and restore skin’s glow.
Panthenol, or Vitamin B5, can soothe and minimize redness, while Hyaluronic acid can increase moisture and produce firmer, younger-looking skin.
Aloe Vera is another natural ingredient used in skin care because it helps retain moisture and heal stretch marks, and Centella Asiatica is a natural antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.
Phenoxyethanol
Phenoxyethanol is the only ingredient on this list that could be potentially dangerous with side effects of: eczema to severe, life-threatening allergic reactions. Infant oral exposure to phenoxyethanol can acutely affect nervous system function.
Phenoxyethanol is a component used as a preservative in cosmetic products such as moisturizers, makeup, soaps, and perfumes. While it limits the growth of bacteria and preserves the skincare products it does have potentially dangerous side effects. So if you notice any side effects you should quit use of the product.
