Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Hydrogenated Poly
- Hydrogenated poly C6-14 olefins, saturated oil; occlusive, low permeability
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerine
- Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Sucrose Distearate
- Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate
- Polyglyceryl ester for mild emollient/emulsifying; long-chain structure for rich feel.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Haberlea Rhodopensis Leaf Extract
- Haberlea leaf extract for skin conditioning; limited data, patch test recommended.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Arachidic Acid
- C20 straight-chain fatty acid acting as emulsifier and conditioner; adds opacity, biodegradable, low irritancy.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Hydrolyzed Pearl
- Hydrolyzed pearl source of amino acids and minerals; humectant and skin conditioner for repair claims.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Acetyl Heptapeptide-4
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
- Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract
- Hydrolyzed collagen fragments claimed for skin protection, weak evidence, low usage levels
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
- Acetyl Octapeptide-3
- Not decoded yet
