Ingredients explained
- Deionized Water
- Deionized water as primary solvent; inactive but carries other ingredients, purity needed to prevent metal ion interference.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Bioflavonoids
- Plant antioxidant blend for soothing and skin protection
- Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract
- Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Cocobetaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant and conditioner; low irritation, high levels may desiccate
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- 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
- Ceramide EOP
- Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.
- Ceramide NS
- Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Ceramide AS
- Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.
- Ceramide AP
- Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Sucrose Distearate
- Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Inulin Lauryl Carbamate
- Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
