Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
- Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability
- Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate
- Yeast fermentation lysate filtrate rich in bioactive molecules for skin conditioning and hydration; assess allergenicity for sensitive skin.
- Bifida Ferment Lysate
- Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin
- Lactococcus Ferment Lysate
- Lactococcus lysate; provides amino acids and polysaccharides for moisture, fermentation reduces allergens.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice
- Jerusalem artichoke root juice, rich in polysaccharides, moisturiser; natural, prone to spoilage, needs preservatives
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Diphenyl Dimethicone
- Silicone for emollience and antistatic; used in hair and skin care, check compatibility with other silicones
- C12-14 Pareth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Triethylhexanoin
- Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Fructooligosaccharides
- Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
- Fructose
- Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Lactobacillus
- Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
