Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Glycerin

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

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Betaine

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

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

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

Propylene Glycol

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

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Dibutyl Adipate

Light ester, solvent and emollient, fresh feel and volatility, non-comedogenic.

Tocopherol

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Maltose

Maltose humectant/skin conditioner; low sweetness, masking; monitor microbial growth.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium PCA

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

Trehalose

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Malpighia Punicifolia Fruit Extract

Natural extract providing antioxidant activity; used as functional ingredient at low levels.

Hydrolyzed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum

Hydrolyzed Gum Acacia, natural colloid for thickening and conditioning, low comedogenic.

Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum

Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.

Jania Rubens Extract

Jania rubens extract with polysaccharides; moisturizing skin conditioner, check algal batch stability.

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Hydrogenated Palm Oil

Emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity regulator; provides waxy structure, high levels may feel heavy.

Passiflora Incarnata Seed Oil

Passiflora incarnata seed oil rich in linoleic acid; for skin protection and emollience; high levels may irritate sensitive skin, dilute for use.

Borago Officinalis Seed Oil

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) rich oil; excellent for repair but prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Ceramide NP

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

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
