Ingredients explained

Water

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

Bifida Ferment Lysate (Mixture 10%[+ Phenoxyethanol

Not decoded yet

Sodium Benzoate])

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid

Non-ionic buffer to adjust pH around 5.5; commonly used at 0.1–0.5%

Dimethicone

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Xanthan Gum

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

PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate

Non-ionic surfactant for emulsification; contains PEG, check compatibility.

Disodium EDTA

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Citric Acid

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

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid

Thiazolidine carboxylic acid derivative used for skin conditioning at low levels; check purity and solvent residues.

PEG-32

Not decoded yet

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Propanediol

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

Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine

Synthetic ingredient combining salicylic acid and phytosphingosine functions; promotes keratinocyte turnover, may cause dryness at high levels.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Ananas Sativus Fruit Extract

Pineapple extract with protease and Vit C; mild AHA exfoliant; may irritate at high levels, use caution.

Papain

Protease for mild exfoliation; concentration must be controlled to avoid irritation.

Tocopherol

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

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

Dipeptide skin conditioner for moisturizing and repair; low concentration, minimal irritation or comedogenic risk.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9

Not decoded yet

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
