Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Cetyl Esters

Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.

Isopropyl Myristate

Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

Isopropyl Isostearate

Light emollient/ester for silky feel; stable, O/W compatible, potentially comedogenic at high levels.

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

C9-11 Pareth-6

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ethylhexyl Cocoate

Coconut-derived ester, light emollient, low viscosity; mild, low comedogenic, oil-friendly

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Perfume

Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.

Dimethicone

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

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

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

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Phenoxytolarosol

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Methylparaben

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

Propylparaben

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

Hydrolyzed Silk

Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Disodium EDTA

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

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Linalool

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

Geraniol

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

Citronellol

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

Cinnamyl Carbinol

Not decoded yet

Amyl Cinnamal

Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.

Coumarin

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