Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic Polyglycerides
- Fatty acid polyglycerides, emulsifier and thickener; non-ionic surfactant, low comedogenicity, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- C14-22 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.
- PPG-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside
- Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Coumarin
- Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
