Ingredients explained
- Aqua (Water
- Primary solvent; requires preservatives at high concentration; adjust viscosity with thickeners
- Eau)
- Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane
- Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals
- Peg-12 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Myristyl Nicotinate
- Nicotinate ester, vasodilator; high levels cause flushing, avoid mucosal contact.
- Peg-8 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone offering slip and spreadability; helps disperse silicone ingredients, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.
- Peg-8 Ricinoleate
- Castor oil derivative, PEG-based surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-derived castor oil, PEG part requires monitoring in sensitive populations.
- Peg-14M
- Water-soluble PEG surfactant/emulsifier at 1-3%; avoid with strong oxidizers
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract
- Albizia bark extract; natural fragrance and conditioner, scent may need masking
- Hypnea Musciformis Extract
- Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2
- Matrixyl; stimulates ECM synthesis for firming/repair, requires adequate dosage.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract
- Cell-culture apple extract for antioxidant skin conditioning
- Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract
- Camellia oleifera leaf extract containing tea polyphenols; acts as astringent and skin conditioner, monitor raw material consistency.
- Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract
- Silybum marianum fruit extract (milk thistle). Antioxidant. Contains alkaloids/terpenes; rare cross-allergenicity with grass/pollen families.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Carnosine
- Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Diisopropyl Sebacate
- Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel
- Biosaccharide Gum-4
- Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Calcium Alginate
- Natural polysaccharide used as thickener and gel base; usually food-grade, but listed as fragrance here, verify supply chain origin.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Calcium Chloride
- Cross-linker and viscosity controller for gels; astringent at high levels, check skin tolerance
- Gellan Gum
- Gellan gum; water-soluble polymer; gel former; high transparency, strong gelling, for aqueous phase stability.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
