Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Behentrimonium Methosulfate

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

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Sorbitol

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

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Laminaria Digitata Extract

Seaweed extract for skin protection; moderate concentration to avoid osmotic irritation.

Ceramide Np

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration

Ceramide Ap

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Ceramide Eop

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Dimethicone

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters

Lightweight emollient and film-former; improves hair slip, generally low concentration.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Polyglyceryl-3 Laurate

Mild plant-based nonionic emulsifier for creams, lotions, and makeup removers.

Potassium Phosphate

pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions

Dipotassium Phosphate

Buffer, pH control, non-irritating, non-comedogenic.

Phenylpropanol

Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Phenoxyethanol

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

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Glycereth-2 Cocoate

Cocoate emulsifier with cleansing and emulsifying functions; coconut-derived, watch for mild irritation from residual oleic acid.

Disodium Edta

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
