Ingredients explained

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.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Gold

Gold in nano or microparticle form, for coloring and slip; usage restricted by regulations

Honey Extract

Humectant and skin conditioning agent; hygroscopic, sensitive to pH.

Propolis Extract

Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.

Royal Jelly Extract

Royal jelly extract for skin conditioning; contains animal proteins, contraindicated for bee allergies

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Thioctic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives

Tremella Fuciformis Extract

Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Sorbitan isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Strong anionic emulsifier for O/W emulsions; incompatible with cationic surfactants

t-Butyl alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
