Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

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

Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid

UV absorber and light stabilizer; compliant use required, common in sunscreens

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract

Spilanthol rich flower extract, used for soothing and antioxidant effects in repair formulas

Alaria Esculenta Extract

Alaria esculenta extract; alginates, 0.1–1%; film-forming and moisturizing; water phase, watch batch stability

Nannochloropsis Oculata Extract

Microalgae extract for humectancy, antioxidant, and skin conditioning.

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Spent Grain Wax

Spent grain wax from brewing; plant-derived emollient and viscosity modifier; monitor microbial load and consistency

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Extract

Shea butter extract for conditioning and moisture; extraction may leave trace impurities, comedogenicity follows base oil rating of 2.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Butylene Glycol

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Tocopherol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

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

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
