Ingredients explained

Water

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ethylhexyl Olivate

Oleate ester emollient; light feel, high comedogenic rating, limit for acne-prone skin.

Dimethicone

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

Glycerin

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Acetamidoethoxyethanol

Not decoded yet

Sodium Acrylates Copolymer

Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.

Sodium Dermatan Sulfate

Not decoded yet

Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate

Humectant and antistatic agent for skin and hair; biocompatible and low irritation. Large molecular weight limits deep penetration.

Rhodosorus Marinus Extract

Not decoded yet

Palmaria Palmata Extract

Algae extract for barrier protection; concentration supplier-dependent

Retinol

Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Erythritol

Polyol humectant with light feel; high hygroscopy, watch in dry climates.

Carrageenan

Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.

Lecithin

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

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Tocopherol

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

Phytosteryl Canola Glycerides

Phytosterol canola glycerides, support barrier repair and moisture, stabilize lipid membrane

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol

Ergothioneine analog antioxidant; stabilizes formula, protect from light.

Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone

Synthetic fragrance providing fresh sweet note; as an EU 26 listed allergen, evaluate mandatory labeling based on total fragrance load.

Triolein

Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Carrageenan

Seaweed-derived thickener and stabilizer, 0.5-1.5% adjusts viscosity; sensitive to ions, test compatibility with cationic surfactants.

Sea Salt

Sea salt for exfoliation/minerals; particle size matters, high ionic strength when dissolved, check compatibility.

Xanthan Gum

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

Laureth-23

Not decoded yet

Propanediol

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

1

Not decoded yet

2-Hexanediol

2-Hexanediol; branched-chain diol solvent and co-preservative, mild odor, weak humectant.

Polyglyceryl-4 Olivate

Not decoded yet

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Trideceth-6 Phosphate

Non-ionic surfactant for solubilization and emulsification; low irritation, no public comedogenic data

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Phenoxyethanol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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