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
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment
- Ferment extract rich in polyphenols; acts as skin conditioning agent with antioxidant potential
- Azelaic Acid
- Acne and pigment agent; 15-20% can be irritating, needs controlled release or lower doses.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Acrylates Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Decylene Glycol
- Multi-functional thickener and preservative booster, 0.1–0.5%; low viscosity, good compatibility
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Linoleic Acid
- Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil
- Sea buckthorn oil rich in carotenoids; viscous and may stain light formulations.
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Menthoxypropanediol
- Menthol derivative; cooling agent for immediate freshness; concentration control to avoid irritation.
- Linolenic Acid
- Omega-6 fatty acid for barrier repair; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants and low light exposure
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Decarboxy Carnosine Hcl
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Narcissus Tazetta Bulb Extract
- Astringent and conditioning for skin/hair; botanical extract, potential allergenic proteins, patch test for sensitive skin.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
