Ingredients explained
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Citrus aurantifolia
- Not decoded yet
- Lanolin alcohol
- Wool wax alcohol, animal-derived emollient and emulsifier with rich, occlusive feel; strict purification removes sensitization, but animal origin must be labeled.
- Sesamum indicum Seed Oil
- Sesame seed oil for skin and hair conditioning, natural fragrance; prone to oxidation, keep dark
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
- Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage
- Magnesium sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Sesamum Indicum Seed
- Not decoded yet
- Medicago Sativa Seed Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Helianthus Annuus Seedcake
- Sunflower seed cake; physical exfoliant and bulking agent. Coarse texture, use caution for sensitive skin, requires homogenization.
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Meal
- Sweet almond seed meal for physical exfoliation; ensure moderate particle size to avoid scratching sensitive skin; may contain trace allergenic proteins.
- Sodium gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Potassium gluconate
- Not decoded yet
- Copper gluconate
- Copper gluconate; trace antioxidant/repair agent. Use <0.05%; high levels cause color change/irritation.
- Calcium gluconate
- Chelator and conditioner, improves stability; water-soluble calcium source
- Magnesium gluconate
- Water-soluble magnesium source; balances skin pH, low irritation; use 0.5–2%
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Tocopheryl succinate
- Water-soluble vitamin E derivative, antioxidant for formula stability; low-level use, low sensitization risk
- Niacin
- Niacin (B3) smoother; high topological concentrations may cause flushing, often used as co-agent or precursor.
- Beta Carotene
- Not decoded yet
- Decyl Oleate
- Decyl oleate, light ester emollient and solubilizer; refreshing feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for most skin types.
- Aluminum distearate
- Solid soap salt, anticaking and emulsion stabilizer; for powders/creams, provides matte slip
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Cyanocobalamin
- Vitamin B12 derivative, antioxidant and skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires light-protective packaging, water-soluble
- Magnesium stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Hydroxycitronellal
- Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Benzyl salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
