Ingredients explained

Water

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Glycerin

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

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Dimethicone

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cetyl Alcohol

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

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.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Cetyl Phosphate

Anionic emulsifier and thickener; often blended, high levels may sting sensitive skin

Vitis Vinifera Juice Extract

Grape juice extract with polyphenols for antioxidant; acidic and prone to browning, use chelators.

Tropaeolum Majus Extract

Tropaneolum majus extract, traditional soothing and astringent; contains trace essential oils, assess irritation risk for sensitive skin.

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data

Hexapeptide-48 Hcl

Not decoded yet

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Raspberry Seed Oil/Tocopheryl Succinate Aminopropanediol Esters

Raspberry seed oil with tocopherol succinate ester; combined emollient and antioxidant, 1–3%.

Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate

Composite emulsifier for stable O/W systems, provides mild cleansing.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Ethylhexyl Stearate

Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Disodium EDTA

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

Sodium Isostearate

Gentle anionic surfactant for thickening and emulsification; often paired with cationics.

Aminomethyl Propanol

pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Chlorphenesin

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
