Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Dimethicone

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

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Cyclohexasiloxane

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

Canola Oil

Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Rhamnose

Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.

Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract

Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

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

Glycine Soja Germ Extract

Soy germ extract with proteins and lipids for hydration; soy is a common allergen, labeling required.

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Propylene Glycol

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Dimethicone/Polyglycerin-3 Crosspolymer

Silicone-based emollient improving slip and antistatic feel, typical 1–5%

Silica

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

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Trimethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane modifier for smoothing and binding; used as surface treatment or rheology modifier; low irritancy typically.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

PVP

Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Sodium Citrate

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Pentylene Glycol

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Citric Acid

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
