Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Vegetable Oil/Olus Oil
- Not decoded yet
- C13-15 Alkane
- Mineral oil derivative as solvent and spreader; low irritation and allergen, ensure high purity free of carcinogens
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient with cleansing function; suitable for baby and sensitive skin, low irritancy.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-1
- Not decoded yet
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Xylitylglucoside
- Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.
- Honey Extract
- Humectant and skin conditioning agent; hygroscopic, sensitive to pH.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Phytosterols
- Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- 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
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ficus Carica Fruit Extract
- Fig fruit extract, humectant with polysaccharides and enzymes for skin moisturizing
- Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil
- Sea buckthorn oil rich in carotenoids; viscous and may stain light formulations.
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Anhydroxylitol
- Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Triolein
- Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Flavor *
- Flavoring agent for specific taste; may contain allergens, comply with local labeling regulations.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

- Glyceryl dioleate, light plant-based ester emollient providing smooth feel; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.
- Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine
- Amino acid-based humectant with moisture-binding properties; low irritancy, improves skin feel and hydration.
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
