Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Octyldodeceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Glycogen
- Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone
- PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits
- Glycine Soja Phytoplacenta Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Glycine Soja Sterols
- Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Ceramide 2
- Not decoded yet
- Ceramide 6 II
- Ceramide for barrier repair and lipid layer restoration; high stability, suitable for sensitive/compromised skin, low irritancy/comedogenicity.
- Ceramide 5
- Not decoded yet
- Trapa Natans Peel Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Ceramide 3
- Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.
- Succinoyl Atelocollagen
- Succinyl atelocollagen, hydrolyzed collagen derivative; skin hydration, note molecular weight distribution.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Ceramide 1
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
