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.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Peg-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate

Non-ionic surfactant for emulsification; contains PEG, check compatibility.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier with moderate water solubility, used as anti-static and skin feel modifier

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Ceramide 6-Ll

Not decoded yet

Ceramide 1

Not decoded yet

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Zinc Citrate

Zinc citrate; antimicrobial in oral care; restricted ingredient, verify compliance; safe at low levels

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract

Golden chamomile extract, soothing; 0.1–0.5% typical, data limited, low risk

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract

Ascophyllum nodosum extract, provides hydration and antioxidant protection; usually low concentration as natural functional additive.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Behentrimonium Methosulfate

Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Laureth-4
