Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

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

Isopropyl Isostearate

Light emollient/ester for silky feel; stable, O/W compatible, potentially comedogenic at high levels.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Dimethicone

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

Dipentaerythrityl Hexa C5-9 Acid Esters

Lightweight emollient; smooth, non-greasy feel; used as emollient/plasticizer; low comedogenicity.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

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.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Citrullus Lanatus Seed Oil

Plant oil as emollient; rich in fatty acids, suitable for dry skin, no major allergens

Glycine Soja Extract

Contains soy protein for skin conditioning; soy protein may be allergenic, patch test for sensitive skin.

Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract

Kigelia africana fruit extract, skin conditioner; watch microbial limits.

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.

Zanthoxylum Bungeanum Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Hexapeptide-48 Hcl

Not decoded yet

Yeast Amino Acids

Yeast-derived soluble amino acid mix; potent humectant with small molecules for easy penetration, good for dry/damaged skin.

Taurine

Taurine; buffering and chelating. Common in shampoos and eye washes, water-soluble.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Inositol

Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Menthoxypropanediol

Menthol derivative; cooling agent for immediate freshness; concentration control to avoid irritation.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Disodium EDTA

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Hexylene Glycol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
