Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Madecassic Acid
- Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage
- Asiatic Acid
- Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.
- Madecassoside
- Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.
- Asiaticoside
- Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.
- Panax Ginseng Leaf/Stem Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract
- Botanical leaf extract used as a conditioning agent; public irritancy and comedogenic data unavailable, monitor botanical consistency.
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract
- Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses
- Beta-Glucan
- Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Betaine Salicylate
- Salicylate derivative for keratolytic and antimicrobial action; milder than salicylic acid.
- Sodium Shale Oil Sulfonate
- Not decoded yet
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Hexanediol
- 1,6-Hexanediol; efficient solvent and preservative booster. May replace traditional preservatives. Mild sting at high levels.
