Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
- Aloe extract powder for soothing/moisturizing; low solubility, needs dispersion
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Tartaric Acid
- Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract
- Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract
- Pichia and resveratrol ferment extract for antioxidant and brightening effects; fermentation enhances stability of active ingredients.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Dimethyl Isosorbide
- Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Hexanoyl Dipeptide-3 Norleucine Acetate
- Synthetic peptide for skin conditioning; small molecule, good penetration, low irritancy.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
