Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerol
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; non-comedogenic
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Avena Strigosa Seed Extract
- Oat seed extract; rich in beta-glucan; hydration and sensitive skin soothing; water-soluble barrier repair
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether
- Not decoded yet
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine
