Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Methyl Gluceth-20

Not decoded yet

Niacinamide

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

Betaine

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

Trehalose

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

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Butylene Glycol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Pentylene Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Rosa Damascena Flower Extract

Rose damascena extract, fragrance/tonic; contains allergens (linalool, geraniol, etc.), labeling required in EU.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Camellia Japonica Flower Extract

Camellia extract for skin emollience; typically a minor conditioning ingredient.

Paeonia Albiflora Flower Extract

White peony flower extract used for tonic and conditioning properties; gentle with no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Adenosine

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Rosmarinus Officinalis Flower Extract

Rosemary flower extract; antioxidant and odor neutralizer; volatile, watch dose for sensitive skin

Xanthan Gum

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract

Lavender extract for fragrance and toning; contains linalool, potential allergen.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Lecithin

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

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Tropolone

Natural phenolic compound used as a skin conditioner; strong antioxidant activity, often a fragrance alternative.

Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract

Pine leaf extract with antioxidant polyphenols; claimed antimicrobial and antioxidant; plant-based, watch for individual allergies.
