Ingredients explained

Water

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

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Niacinamide

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract

Camellia leaf extract providing skin conditioning and antioxidant support; gentle with no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Orchid Extract

Orchid extract, moisturizing; efficacy varies by species, standardized extract preferred.

Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract

Botanical fruit extract for skin conditioning; usually at low levels, act in synergy.

Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract providing fragrance

Beta-Glucan

Olive oil unsaponifiables; rich in squalene and vitamin E. Use at 1-2% for repair; stable.

Dimethicone

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Inulin Lauryl Carbamate

Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Di-C12-13 Alkyl Malate

Esther emollient to improve texture and gloss; low concentration, low comedogenic risk, no specific compatibility issues.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Sucrose Polystearate

Sucrose polyester emulsifier, non-ionic and mild; often blended with water- or oil-soluble surfactants to tune emulsification efficiency.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
