Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Rosehip Seed Oil

Rosehip seed oil rich in fatty acids for moisturizing and anti-aging; monitor oxidation stability.

Shorea Stenoptera Seed Butter

Shorea stenoptera seed butter, used as emollient and skin conditioning agent; plant oil, moderate comedogenicity, oily skin should pay attention to dosage.

Ectoin

Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems

Arginine

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

Triolein

Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Hydrolyzed Rhodophycea Extract

Hydrolyzed red algae rich in minerals and polysaccharides; used for hydration and skin conditioning. Verify batch consistency.

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration

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

Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract

Plant extract for skin protection; contains antioxidants, may need stabilizers at high conc.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Glyceryl Dioleate

Glyceryl dioleate, light plant-based ester emollient providing smooth feel; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract

Seaweed polysaccharide; film forming and moisturizing; provides gel texture; gentle.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Lespedeza Capitata Leaf/Stem Extract

Botanical extract for skin conditioning and protection; no known allergen alerts.

Lime Pearl Fruit Extract

Lime pearl fruit extract for skin; complex profile, no irritation data

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Agastache Mexicana Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Mexican mint extract containing flavonoids; acts as a soothing and antioxidant adjunct, no major formulation conflicts.

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Linolenic Acid

Omega-6 fatty acid for barrier repair; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants and low light exposure

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Behenic Acid

Behenic acid, emulsifier and thickener; high comedogenic rating, limit use on acne-prone skin.

Gondoic Acid

Gondoic acid fatty acid for hair conditioning and shine

Arachidic Acid

C20 straight-chain fatty acid acting as emulsifier and conditioner; adds opacity, biodegradable, low irritancy.
