Ingredients explained
- Avene Thermal Spring Water
- Avene Thermal Spring Water; contains trace minerals and silica; used as a solvent or aqueous base with soothing properties.
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Lightweight emollient, low viscosity, refreshes skin feel, high compatibility.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Algin
- Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Caprylyl Glycol Linseedate
- Not decoded yet
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Dipotassium Phosphate
- Buffer, pH control, non-irritating, non-comedogenic.
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Disodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Glyceryl Laurate
- Glyceryl laurate, emollient and emulsifier; plant-derived, gentle, low comedogenicity, suitable for cream systems.
- Papain
- Protease for mild exfoliation; concentration must be controlled to avoid irritation.
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate
- Anionic surfactant with strong foaming and cleansing power; milder than SLS but can still irritate dry skin.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
