Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Alkanna Tinctoria Root Extract

Alkanna tinctoria root extract for natural color/conditioning; monitor batch-to-batch color variance.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Arachis Hypogaea Oil

Peanut oil, occlusive emollient; **EU restricted allergen**, contraindicated for those with allergies, moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Citric Acid

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

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Coconut Alcohol

Coco alcohol (long-chain fatty alcohol), not ethanol; emulsifier aid/viscosity control at <5%; gentle, non-allergenic

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Daucus Carota Sativa Extract

Carrot extract with carotenoids for tinting and conditioning; no specific contraindications.

Decylene Glycol

Multi-functional thickener and preservative booster, 0.1–0.5%; low viscosity, good compatibility

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Ethanol

Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.

Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Glucose

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

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
