Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dimethicone

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-75 Stearate

PEG-75 stearate, non-ionic emulsifier/thickener; PEG-based, check for 1,4-dioxane limits, not used in some markets.

Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Glycerine

Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

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.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Acrylates/Acrylamide Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Mineral Oil

Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.

Polysorbate 85

Not decoded yet

Sorbitan Stearate

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

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer

Synthetic polymer for smooth feel and viscosity control; requires homogenization, compatible with silicones.

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Panthenol

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Polygonum Bistorta Root Extract

Polygonum bistorta root extract; anti-inflammatory/astringent, potential to stain

Phenoxyethanol

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

Perfume

Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

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

Methylparaben

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

Anthemis Nobilis Extract

Chamomile extract with sesquiterpene alcohols; excellent soothing/anti-inflammatory effects, use low concentrations, monitor allergenic risk.

Disodium EDTA

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

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate

UV-B absorber, often as photostabilizer; 0.1–0.5% active; water-soluble, requires stable pairing

Buteth-3

Not decoded yet

Tributyl Citrate

Tributyl citrate plasticizer/solvent, low toxicity; hygroscopic, long-term protection from moisture/light

Ci 17200

Acid Red 33 hair dye; restricted use, potential scalp irritation

Ci 60730

Synthetic colorant for yellow-green tones; use subject to regulatory limits
