Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- PEG/PPG-20/6 Dimethicone
- Not decoded yet
- Chamomilla Recutita Extract
- Chamomile, classic soothing/anti-inflammatory; potential allergen for some, contains flavonoids.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
- Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Ammonium Hydroxide
- Strong alkaline pH adjuster; use in low concentrations to neutralize acids, avoid direct mixing with strong acids.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium Cholate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydrochloric Acid
- Strong acid for trace pH buffering; use diluted solutions carefully to avoid pH spikes and corrosion.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Imidazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.
- Isobutylparaben
- Paraben preservative; used in combination, restricted usage
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Butylparaben
- Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
