Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Arnica Montana Flower Extract
- Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
