Ingredients explained

Water

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Lactobacillus/Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract Ferment Filtrate

Not decoded yet

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Bacillus Ferment

Bacillus ferment extract; skin conditioner with peptides; verify sterile specs and endotoxin levels

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Magnolia Kobus Bark Extract

Not decoded yet

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract

Pomelo extract with astringent and skin-conditioning properties; contains phototoxic citrus components, assess risk for daytime use.

Propolis Extract

Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.

Chamomilla Recutita Flower/Leaf Extract

Chamomile extract, known for soothing and anti-inflammatory; caution for those with plant allergies.

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Thujopsis Dolabrata Branch Extract

Houtou Cypress branch extract for skin conditioning; plant extract, monitor batch variability and potential allergens.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Dimethicone

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Collagen

Hydrating conditioning agent; soluble protein used in hair care and toners; forms occlusive layer.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
