Ingredients explained

Ethylhexyl Palmitate
Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate
Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; prone to oil contamination.
Isododecane
Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
Hydrogenated Poly
Hydrogenated poly C6-14 olefins, saturated oil; occlusive, low permeability
Synthetic Wax
Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
PEG-10 Isostearate
Iso-stearic PEG-10 ester, O/W emulsifier and solubilizer for shampoos and body wash; watch PEG hydrolysis and microbial risk
Silica Dimethyl Silylate
Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
Fragrance
Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract
Centella asiatica extract for repair and soothing; contains asiaticoside, good for barrier
Glyceryl Stearate
Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
Water
Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate
Mild emulsifier for O/W systems; 1-3%, avoid cationic surfactants
Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract
Extract for color and conditioning; watch dark batches in clear systems
Carthamus Tinctorius Flower Extract
Safflower flower extract containing carthamin; used for skin conditioning and antioxidant properties, not primarily a colorant.
Butylene Glycol
Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
Coptis Japonica Extract
Coptis japonica root extract with berberine for sebum control and antimicrobial action; limit concentration to avoid sensitization.
Glycerin
Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
1,2-Hexanediol
Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
Dipropylene Glycol
Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate
Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for sensitive skin formulations
Centella Asiatica Root Extract
Soothing and repairing extract; classic anti-inflammatory, good for sensitive skin
Centella Asiatica Extract

Pentylene Glycol
Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
Madecassoside
Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.
4-Terpineol
Terpene derivative used primarily for fragrance; can be an allergen at high concentrations
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
Propanediol
Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
Asiatic Acid
Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.
Madecassic Acid
Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage
Asiaticoside
Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.
