Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Coco-Caprylate
- Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Tapioca Starch
- Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
- Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Fragrance *
- Fragrance for scent, may contain EU 26 allergens; assess allergy risk for sensitive individuals, concentration usually <1%.
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
