Comedogenic ratings need a published source. This batch is not yet sourced, so it is not shown.

Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Propanediol

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

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone

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

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Alcohol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Amino-acid ester for emulsification and conditioning; mild, no public comedogenic data

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Palmitic Acid

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

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Honey / Mel / Miel

Humectant/conditioner, viscous at high levels, hygroscopic and freezes at low temp, bee allergen risk

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Methoxy PEG-114/Polyepsilon Caprolactone

PEG-containing reactive resin for film forming and conditioning; restricted ingredient, check compliance.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract

Lotus flower extract for skin conditioning; no specific irritancy or comedogenic data, generally safe at standard use.

Polygonatum Officinale Rhizome/Root Extract

Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent

Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract

Traditional medicinal root extract for skin conditioning; verify compatibility, patch test for sensitive skin.

Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract

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

Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract

Lilium candidum bulb extract; polysaccharide-rich skin conditioner; generally mild, check plant protein allergens

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Polysorbate 60

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Cymbopogon Martini Oil

Natural essential oil with distinct aroma; contains allergens requiring safety assessment.

Geraniol
