Ingredients explained
- Tretinoin
- Tretinoin, Rx 0.025-0.1%; phototoxic/allergenic, contraindicated in pregnancy, no acids, expect early irritation
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Butylhydroxyanisole
- Not decoded yet
- Butylated Hydroxytoluene
- BHT synthetic antioxidant for lipid stability; check EU labeling limits and sensitivity issues.
- Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane
- Not decoded yet
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Glycerol
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; non-comedogenic
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Cetostearyl Alcohol
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Ectoin
- Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
