Ingredients explained

Acer Mono Sap

Not decoded yet

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Glycerin

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

Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate

Light diester emollient, light and non-greasy; often used as solvent; oxidizes easily, needs antioxidants.

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Polysorbate 60

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

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Betaine

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

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system

Silica

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

Dimethicone

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Water

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Palmitic Acid

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Butylene Glycol

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

Trideceth-6

Not decoded yet

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Mineral Oil

Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Zea Mays Germ Extract

Triticum Vulgare Flour Extract

Not decoded yet

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract

Prickly pear fruit extract used for hydration and antioxidants; verify extraction source to avoid staining

Fructan

Prebiotic humectant, 0.5–2%; modulates microflora, very low comedogenicity

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract

Plant extract used as auxiliary humectant and soothing agent at low concentrations

Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Extract

Baobab extract, hydrolyzed peptides for penetration; maintain formula stability to prevent degradation

Propylene Glycol

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

Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract

Peony root extract for moisture and conditioning; plant-derived, low allergenicity

Luffa Cylindrica Fruit Extract

Sponge gourd fruit extract for hydration; plant-derived, no known high risks.

Hemerocallis Fulva Flower Extract

Extract with cooling scent and conditioning; contains essential oil, potential allergen, control dose

Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract

Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.

Citrus Junos Fruit Extract

Yuzu peel extract; provides antioxidants, low concentration reduces photosensitivity risk.

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
