Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Arginine

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

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Olea Europaea Leaf Extract

Olive leaf extract with hydroxytyrosol; antioxidant and polyphenolic; mild fragrance and skin conditioning.

Panax Ginseng Extract

Ginseng extract, rich in ginsenosides, antioxidant; traditional ingredient, low levels in cosmetics, patch test for sensitive.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Hexyl Nicotinate

Vitamin B3 ester for skin conditioning; typically <1%, check compatibility with acids

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
