Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Hordeum Vulgare Extract*
- Not decoded yet
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil*
- Jojoba oil, a liquid wax mimicking sebum; low comedogenicity, suitable for most skin types
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*
- Shea butter providing occlusive moisture; standard comedogenic rating is 2, watch for clogging risk in combination formulas.
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil*
- Safflower seed oil high in linoleic acid; lightweight emollient, susceptible to oxidation, protect from light and add antioxidant.
- Pentaclethra Macroloba Seed Oil*
- Not decoded yet
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil*
- Sweet orange oil under 1.5% for fragrance; phototoxic furanocoumarins limit day use, moderate allergen risk
- Avena Strigosa Seed Extract
- Oat seed extract; rich in beta-glucan; hydration and sensitive skin soothing; water-soluble barrier repair
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Glycine Soja Sterols
- Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Lysolecithin
- Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.
- Glycolipids
- Cell membrane lipids mimicking skin barrier structure; used in repair formulations and biomimetic membranes
- Pullulan
- Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Limonene**
- Citrus fragrance ingredient; EU allergen 26, oxidizes easily.
