Ingredients explained

Water

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

Quercus Acutissima Sap

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Propylene Glycol

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

Rosa Centifolia Flower Water

Distilled rose water for soothing; aqueous phase with trace volatile allergens

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Erythritol

Polyol humectant with light feel; high hygroscopy, watch in dry climates.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Ceramide 3

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

Artemisia Annua Extract

Artemisia annua extract used as a natural fragrance ingredient; may cause sensitivity.

Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract

Neem leaf extract; skin conditioning and antioxidant properties; note botanical extract variability.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract

Rosemary extract; antimicrobial; photo-toxic and allergen risks.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract

Lavender extract for fragrance and toning; contains linalool, potential allergen.

Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract

Zanthoxylum fruit extract for skin conditioning; contains capsaicinoids, watch for irritation.

Pulsatilla Koreana Extract

Herb-based aqueous extract for soothing and conditioning; low usage levels, no significant sensitization

Usnea Barbata Extract

Lichen extract; natural deodorant, contains usnic acid, for oral/body care, avoid dust inhalation.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Chlorphenesin

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems

Glycerin

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
