Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Hydroxyethylacrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- Water-soluble polymer providing slip and conditioning; biodegradable and well-compatible
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- C14-22 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- C12 -20 Alkyl Glucoside
- Not decoded yet
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Ethylhexyl-Glycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin, moisturizer/boosting agent; enhances preservation/moisture, gentle, often combined with humectants.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Marshmallow Root Extract
- Not decoded yet
