Ingredients explained

Onsen-Sui

Onsen hot spring water with minerals; mineral content varies, verify heavy metal levels.

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Butylene Glycol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate

Not decoded yet

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

-Alpha-Bisabolol

Alpha-bisabolol, gentle soothing agent <1%; supports skin repair

Ecklonia Cava Extract

Brown algae extract for skin conditioning; good solubility, low irritation

Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract

Red algae extract acting as a skin protecting agent, often used for hydration or soothing, check stability.

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Undaria Pinnatifida Extract

Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.

Hizikia Fusiforme Extract
