Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dimethicone Peg-10/15 Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate

Lactococcus lysate; provides amino acids and polysaccharides for moisture, fermentation reduces allergens.

Hexyldecanol

Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation

Inulin

Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Yogurt Powder

Not decoded yet

Peg-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Tamarindus Indica Seed Polysaccharide

Natural film-forming humectant, 0.1–1%; thickener, prone to oxidation, keep away from light

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide

Biomimetic lipid, barrier repair, 1-3%; lipophilic, needs emulsification, good for dry skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Honey

Humectant/emollient; contains sugars requiring preservation, contraindicated for bee product allergies.

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Rosa Damascena Flower Oil

Rose essential oil with strong scent; contains allergens, requires IFRA compliance.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Boswellia Serrata Extract

Anti-inflammatory and soothing extract, 0.1–0.5%; contains boswellic acids, check compatibility with fragrances

Honey Extract

Humectant and skin conditioning agent; hygroscopic, sensitive to pH.
