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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Diethoxyethyl Succinate

Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.

Glycereth-25 Pca Isostearate

Emulsifier and conditioning agent; 1–3% typical, low irritancy and comedogenicity

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Nelumbo Nucifera Seed Extract

Lotus seed extract, multi-functional; antimicrobial activity, plant source requires preservation, low allergen

Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil

Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract

Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, source of resveratrol antioxidant; water or alcohol soluble, check color shift with iron ions

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

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.
