Ingredients explained

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract

Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data

Glycerin

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Trehalose

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

Water

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Fruit Extract

Prickly pear fruit extract used for antioxidant and moisturizing effects; high concentrations may irritate sensitive skin

Ceramide NP

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract

Centella asiatica extract for repair and soothing; contains asiaticoside, good for barrier

Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract

Perilla leaf extract with rosmarinic acid; conditioning and soothing, use low concentration, avoid acid conflicts.

Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract

Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage

Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract

Herbal extract for seborrhea control, antibacterial action, and oral care; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.

Citrus Grandis Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract; botanical astringent and tonic, contains essential oils, monitor allergenicity, cautious for sensitive skin.

Acorus Gramineus Root/Stem Extract

Sugarcane grass root/stem extract for hair and skin conditioning; contains essential oils, potentially irritating.

Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract

Perilla leaf extract containing perillal, providing fragrance and mild soothing effects.

Theobroma Cacao Extract

Cacao extract providing antioxidants and conditioning, aids skin elasticity.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Polysorbate 20

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

Dimethicone

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

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Propanediol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Alcohol

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

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Disodium EDTA

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

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
