Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Olus Oil
- Squalane derivative or plant oil for emollience; specify exact source
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- C10-18 Triglycerides
- Mixture of C10-18 triglycerides for emolliency, conditioning, and solvency; low comedogenic risk but occlusive.
- Acetamidocaproic Acid
- Tranexamic acid derivative; antioxidant/brightening at 0.5–5%, check stability
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Isostearyl Isostearate
- Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil
- Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin
- Stearyl Heptanoate
- Lipophilic emollient and skin-conditioning agent; improves texture and reduces dryness; high levels may increase greasiness.
- Prunus Domestica Seed Oil
- Prune seed oil; high in linolenic acid; natural emollient replacing mineral oils for dry skin
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydrogenated Prunus Domestica Seed Oil
- Hydrogenated plum seed oil; oxidatively stable emollient, low comedogenic risk
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Stearyl Caprylate
- Light emollient ester; fast-spreading, non-tacky; improves texture and slip in most bases
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
