Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Stearyl Palmitate

Stearyl palmitate, emollient and emulsifier; low irritancy, low comedogenicity, used in creams and hair care products, improves gloss and spreadability.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hydrolyzed Xanthomonas Campestris Polysaccharide

Fermentation-derived polymer with exfoliating and skin-conditioning properties; often used in lightening systems at low levels (<1%).

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Hydrated Silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Disodium EDTA

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

Zinc

Usually present as oxide derivatives for SPF or anti-inflammatory; elemental zinc is cytotoxic and prohibited

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Copper Pca

Copper PCA chelating agent and humectant; added in trace amounts (0.01-0.1%) to stabilize formulation and supply copper ions.

Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil

Vetiver essential oil for woody scent; high concentration has phototoxic risks.

Lauryl Laurate

Ester emollient; provides slip, stable, low irritation risk.

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

Hygroscopic starch for humidity control/filming; needs preservative, low comedogenicity.

Canarium Luzonicum Leaf Extract

Plant extract used as a humectant, specific activity data is limited.

Myristica Fragrans Kernel Oil

Nutmeg kernel oil for fragrance and emolliency; contains myristin, some individuals may react to vanillin or other components.

Boswellia Carterii Oil

Frankincense essential oil; penetrant; high-concentration allergen risk.

Coriandrum Sativum Fruit Oil

Coriander seed oil, essential oil fragrance containing allergens; keep concentration below 0.1%, caution for sensitive skin and pregnant women.

Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil

Litsaea cubeba fruit oil; distinct aroma, potential irritant; use as essential oil, label fully.

Amber Extract

Amber extract, traditional conditioning use; complex composition, watch for impurity sensitization risk

Ci 77400

Titanium dioxide, white pigment and UV filter; restricted in eye makeup, assess nano-form risk.

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

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

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Hexyldecyl Laurate

Hexyldeyl laurate, light emollient ester; low comedogenicity.

Hexyldecanol

Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation

Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire D'Abeille

Beeswax emulsifier and thickener; animal-derived, low allergenicity but high concentrations may clog pores, requires compatibility testing.

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.

Coco-Caprylate

Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Oil

Blueberry seed oil rich in GLA; supports skin barrier repair; moderate comedogenic risk, patch test recommended.

Disodium EDTA

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

Alisma Plantago Aquatica Extract

Plant extract, often used as a skin conditioning agent.

Maris Sal/Sea Salt/Sel Marin

Mineral salt blend for hydration; requires heavy metal removal; high concentrations can irritate compromised skin

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Succinic Acid
