Corium 21 Ingredients: Certified Organic Aloe Vera First

Corium 21 Special Ingredients

Disclaimer: The following list of ingredients is intended for general descriptive and informational purposes only. Corium 21 makes no medical claims concerning these ingredients.

Corium 21 starts with certified organic aloe vera as its first ingredient, ahead of water, and builds a rich, non-greasy cream around it. Glycerin and soluble collagen draw in and hold moisture, plant oils and vitamins A, B3 and E condition and soften, and green tea, chamomile and ginseng extracts round out the formula. The result leaves dry, rough and problem-prone skin feeling well-hydrated, softer and smoother, and looking more supple.

Allantoin

Allantoin, found naturally in comfrey, is a skin-care classic for skin that feels dry and rough. It conditions and softens, leaving skin smoother and more comfortable.

Aloe vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Organic)), certified organic

Certified organic aloe vera is the first ingredient. Aloe has been a skin-care staple for centuries: it hydrates dry skin, soothes the feel of dryness and roughness, and leaves skin soft, smooth and comfortable, never greasy.

Green tea (Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract)

Green tea leaf extract is a well-known antioxidant in skin care, rich in natural polyphenols. It conditions the skin and helps defend it against everyday environmental stressors, for a fresher, more radiant-looking complexion.

Chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract)

Chamomile is one of the best-loved botanicals in skin care. Its flower extract soothes the feel of dry, rough skin.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)

Vitamin D3 rounds out the formula's vitamin blend alongside vitamins A, B and E, and is included as a skin-conditioning ingredient.

Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Seed Extract)

Fennel seed extract is a traditional botanical valued in skin care as a skin conditioner. It helps skin feel smooth and refreshed.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is one of skin care's most celebrated ingredients. It's prized for helping skin look brighter, more even-toned and smoother, and for leaving it soft and well-moisturized.

Ginseng (Panax Ginseng Root Extract)

Panax ginseng, the true Asian ginseng, is a prized root in traditional skin care. Its extract conditions skin and helps it look revitalized, more radiant and more supple.

Vitamin A palmitate (Retinyl Palmitate)

Retinyl palmitate is a gentle, skin-friendly form of vitamin A. In skin care it's prized for conditioning, helping skin look smoother and feel softer, and making the look of fine dry lines less noticeable.

Rose hip oil (Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Fruit Oil)

Rose hip oil, pressed from the fruit of the wild rose, is naturally rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid. It deeply softens dry, rough skin and helps it look smoother and more supple.

Soluble collagen (Soluble Collagen)

Soluble collagen is a water-loving protein that forms a smooth, moisture-holding film on the skin's surface. It helps skin look smoother and firmer and feel more supple.

Comfrey (Symphytum Officinale (Comfrey) Leaf Extract)

Comfrey leaf has a long history in traditional European skin care and is a natural source of allantoin. Its extract conditions and softens, leaving skin smooth and comfortable.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HCl)

Thiamine, vitamin B1, joins vitamin B3 in the formula's B-vitamin blend as a skin-conditioning ingredient.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin C is one of skin care's best-known antioxidants, prized for helping skin look brighter and more radiant. In Corium 21 it works alongside vitamins A, B3 and E to condition and help defend skin against everyday environmental stressors.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

Tocopherol is natural vitamin E, a classic skin-care antioxidant. It conditions skin, leaves it feeling soft and smooth, and helps protect the cream's oils so it stays fresh.

Vitamin E acetate (Tocopheryl Acetate)

Vitamin E acetate is a stable, skin-friendly form of vitamin E, one of the most trusted antioxidants in skin care. It conditions and softens skin and helps keep the formula's oils fresh.

Yucca (Yucca Schidigera Leaf/Root/Stem Extract)

Yucca, native to the American Southwest, has been used for generations by the people of the region. Its extract is prized in skin care for its natural saponins, which give a gentle, conditioning lift to the skin's feel.

Corn oil (Zea Mays (Corn) Oil)

Corn oil is a light, mild-scented plant oil rich in natural fatty acids. It moisturizes and softens dry skin without a heavy feel.

Water (Aqua)

Water carries the formula's moisture-binding ingredients into a smooth emulsion. The balance of water and oils is what makes Corium 21 a rich cream rather than a lotion.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine balances the formula's pH and works with carbomer to set the cream's rich, smooth texture.

Disodium EDTA

Disodium EDTA is used in tiny amounts to bind trace minerals, so the cream keeps its smooth texture, color and scent for the life of the jar.

Polysorbate 80

Polysorbate 80 is a gentle emulsifier made from sorbitol. It keeps the aloe, oils and vitamins evenly blended so every application feels the same.

Phenoxyethanol

Phenoxyethanol is one of the most widely used preservatives in skin care. It helps keep Corium 21 fresh and stable in the jar.

PEG-100 Stearate

PEG-100 stearate is an emulsifier and emollient that keeps the cream smooth and stable from the first scoop to the last. It leaves skin feeling soft.

Methyl Gluceth-20

Methyl gluceth-20 is a mild, corn-sugar-derived humectant that helps skin attract and hold moisture. It adds a soft, conditioned, never-sticky feel.

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate is an emollient made from palm and coconut oils. It lets the cream glide on easily and leaves a silky, smooth, non-greasy finish.

Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans

Glycosaminoglycans belong to the same family of moisture-binding molecules as hyaluronic acid. Hydrolyzed, they act as a humectant that helps skin hold moisture and look plumper, smoother and well-hydrated.

Glycerin

Glycerin is one of skin care's most trusted humectants: it draws water to the skin's surface and holds it there. It's a big reason dry skin feels well-hydrated, soft and smooth after Corium 21.
