I'm considering getting a "Twist Defining Cream" and it has a bunch of extracts listed near the top of the list. Are they delivering the promise of the product or are they just pixie dust? I note they aren't listed as "Active Ingredients" but "Key Ingredients". Your site has been so helpful. I give thanks to Kwan Yin for the Beauty Brains!Key Ingredients: Sunflower Oil, Castor Oil, Amla, Sugar Beet Root and PhytosterolsAqueous (Water, Aqua Purificada, Purified) Extracts: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut)¹ and Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla)¹ and Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine)¹ and Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root¹, Glycerin¹, Acetamide MEA, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil1, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil¹, Triethanolamine, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil¹, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)¹, Carbomer, Phytosterols², Disodium Ethylene Dicocamide PEG-15 Disulfate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Behenyl Alcohol¹, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Trideceth-12, TBHQ, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Potassium Sorbate, Fragrance/Parfum, Limonene.Source: 1-Natural; 2-Canola Oil derived
