Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil Meadowfoam
- Not decoded yet
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Hydrogenated Olive Oil Lauryl Esters
- Emulsifier and film-former; plant-derived, low comedogenicity, for long-lasting hydration.
- Zingiber Officinale Root Oil Ginger Oil 0.1%
- Not decoded yet
- Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract Tangerine
- Not decoded yet
- Orchid Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract
- Botanical fruit extract for skin conditioning; usually at low levels, act in synergy.
- Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract
- Camellia leaf extract providing skin conditioning and antioxidant support; gentle with no public irritancy or comedogenic data.
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil
- Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Theobroma Cacao Extract Cocoa
- Not decoded yet
- Copernicia Cerifera wax Carnauba Wax
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Pentaerythrityl distearate
- Oil-soluble emulsifier/wax; improves cream hardness and shine, typical use 1-5%, non-ionic
- Di-c12-13 alkyl malate
- Esther emollient to improve texture and gloss; low concentration, low comedogenic risk, no specific compatibility issues.
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- 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
