Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Dimethicone

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Glycerin

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

Tricaprylyl Citrate

Not decoded yet

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Butylene Glycol

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

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Molasses Extract\Saccharum Officinarum\Extrait De Mélasse

Sugarcane molasses extract; humectant/nourishing claim, microbe-risk requires robust preservation, sticky feel.

Gentiana Lutea Root Extract

Plant root extract for conditioning and fragrance; may impart slight bitterness, test compatibility for sensitive skin

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Extract

Rich in amino acids/GABA; moisturizes and repairs; extraction affects activity retention

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Hydrolyzed Prunus Domestica

Hydrolyzed plum extract for moisturization and skin conditioning; small molecules for easy absorption

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Trisiloxane

Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Rna

Not decoded yet

Helianthus Annuus Seedcake

Sunflower seed cake; physical exfoliant and bulking agent. Coarse texture, use caution for sensitive skin, requires homogenization.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Propylene Glycol Dicaprate

Lightweight emollient ester; replaces mineral oils with non-greasy feel; good for oily skin systems

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Saccharide Isomerate

Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Disodium EDTA

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Phenoxyethanol

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