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

Alcohol*

Solvent and enhancer; gives light texture but may dry skin at high levels

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*

Lightweight seed oil rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid; suitable for sensitive skin, acts as emollient.

Dodecane

Light hydrocarbon oil, low-viscosity lubricant; slight occlusion at high levels, oxidizable, add antioxidants

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*

Natural humectant and soothing agent; high water content requires preservation, batch variability and allergens possible.

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Fragrance **

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil*

Olive oil, base emollient; contains palmitic/stearic, high doses may clog sensitive skin

Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract*

Leaf extract for antioxidant and soothing properties; good water solubility, suitable for adding to aqueous phase.

Coffea Arabica Seed Extract*

Not decoded yet

Caffeine*

Not decoded yet

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*

Shea butter providing occlusive moisture; standard comedogenic rating is 2, watch for clogging risk in combination formulas.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil*

Sweet almond oil, excellent emollient; highly comedogenic, caution for oily skin, verify absence of allergenic proteins.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil*

Jojoba oil, a liquid wax mimicking sebum; low comedogenicity, suitable for most skin types

Xylitylglucoside

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Dehydroxanthan Gum

Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Glucose Glutamate

Not decoded yet

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.

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline

Lipid peptide for skin conditioning; mimics ceramide function for barrier repair, prone to crystallization

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Cichorium Intybus Root Extract

Chicory root extract with fragrance and skin-conditioning roles; plant-derived, confirm extraction process.

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Magnesium Gluconate

Water-soluble magnesium source; balances skin pH, low irritation; use 0.5–2%

Maltose

Maltose humectant/skin conditioner; low sweetness, masking; monitor microbial growth.

Hydrolyzed Pearl

Hydrolyzed pearl source of amino acids and minerals; humectant and skin conditioner for repair claims.

Iron Oxide

Inorganic oxide pigment for color; concentration is restricted in specific mixtures.

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Linalool**

Common fragrance ingredient, EU 26 allergen; declare if >0.05%, low photosensitivity

Limonene**

Citrus fragrance ingredient; EU allergen 26, oxidizes easily.

Citronellol**

Citronellol, rose-flower fragrance; low allergenicity, common floral scent agent, poor photostability, store away from light.

Citral**

Citral, citrus fragrance component; strong allergen, must be labeled, high levels oxidize and change color, may irritate skin.

Geraniol**

Allergen 26 fragrance; high sensitization potential, requires labeling and strict limit control.

Benzyl Benzoate**
