Hi Fotis, in my experience ALL the ingredients at amount of 1% or below will not have any significant effect in skin/skincare. Not sure where the amount of 1% is in your ingredients, but my guess would be from PARFUM and below it.

I’d guess the 1% line a bit higher than that….as allantoin if still above that line, and only a mommy blogger would have a rate of 1% or more. I would probably speculate that the 1% line is at SODIUM CETEARYL SULFATE.
As far as the orgininal question….probably anything with a plant name in it…is not doing much.
Tear it apart like you would anything….categorize what is the emollients, the humectants, the barrier function…preservation…. emulsifier and builders, and then see what is left. That is the uneeded parts.
Aloha.
