Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Glycereth-25 Pca Isostearate
- Emulsifier and conditioning agent; 1–3% typical, low irritancy and comedogenicity
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Schizophyllan
- Fermented Schizophyllan polysaccharide; natural humectant and rheology modifier; forms a film, gentle and compatible with silicone-free formulas
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil
- Botanical essential oil for fragrance; contains allergenic constituents, sensitive to reactive skin.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Fucus Vesiculosus Extract
- Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.
