Ingredients explained
- Fluocinolone Acetonide
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroquinone
- Melanin inhibitor restricted in EU cosmetics; primarily industrial or intermediate use; strict compliance required
- Tretinoin
- Tretinoin, Rx 0.025-0.1%; phototoxic/allergenic, contraindicated in pregnancy, no acids, expect early irritation
- Butylated Hydroxytoluene
- BHT synthetic antioxidant for lipid stability; check EU labeling limits and sensitivity issues.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Citric Acid Anhydrous
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Methyl Gluceth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
