Ingredients explained

Aqua
Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
Glycerin
Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
Lactobionic Acid
Polyhydroxy acid for pH buffering; gentle, check stability at high levels
Steareth-2
Not decoded yet
Cyclopentasiloxane
Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
Cyclohexasiloxane
Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.
Steareth-21
Not decoded yet
Isohexadecane
Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
Glyceryl Stearate
Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
Hexylene Glycol
Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
Panthenol
Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
Polysorbate 80
Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
Benzyl Alcohol
Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
Phenoxyethanol
Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate
SKIN CONDITIONING
Sodium Hydroxide
Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
Cetearyl Alcohol
Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
Potassium Sorbate
Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
Fructose
Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.
Glucose
Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
Sorbitan Oleate
Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability
Disodium EDTA
Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
Dipropylene Glycol
Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
Perfluorodecalin
Perfluorodecalin, hydrophobic solvent and glossing agent; used in haircare or dry shampoo, insoluble in water, control usage to avoid greasiness
Sclerotium Gum
Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
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
Polysorbate 20
Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
Retinol
Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated
Boswellia Serrata Gum
Not decoded yet
Isomalt
Isomalt humectant; tacky at high levels, non-comedogenic, suitable for sugar-free formulas.
Sorbitol
Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
Alanine
Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
Aspartic Acid
Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
Glutamic Acid
Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
Hexyl Nicotinate
Vitamin B3 ester for skin conditioning; typically <1%, check compatibility with acids
Lecithin
Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
Tocopherol
Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
BHT
Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
Xanthan Gum
Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
Caprylyl Glycol
Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
BHA
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); oil-phase antioxidant. Use <0.05%. Controversial at high levels.
Argania Spinosa Callus Culture Extract
Not decoded yet
Glyceryl Caprylate
Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
Sodium Benzoate
Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
Oleic Acid
Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration
Ci 77491
Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
