Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Hydroxyethyl Urea
- Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies
- Glycosaminoglycans
- Water-soluble polysaccharide film former delivering intense hydration and emollience; used in moisturizing and anti-aging formulations.
- Hydrolyzed Sclerotium Gum
- Hydrolyzed fungal gum for film-forming, moisturizing, and skin protection; bio-based polysaccharide, gentle film-former, suitable for sensitive skin, low sensitization.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters
- Lightweight emollient and film-former; improves hair slip, generally low concentration.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Bromelain
- Bromelain protease at 0.1–1% for gentle exfoliation; protein hydrolase, avoid long-term co-use with strong acids
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid
- Bioactive marker in Evening Primrose Oil, antioxidant and soothing; used at low levels
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
- Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract
- Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, source of resveratrol antioxidant; water or alcohol soluble, check color shift with iron ions
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Rosemary) Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
