Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Hydrolyzed Yeast Extract

Small peptides and amino acids for skin conditioning; often used in anti-aging claims.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Sodium Butyroyl Hyaluronate

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Disodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphate

Not decoded yet

Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate

Complex peptide precursor for skin conditioning; limited public data, follow supplier dosage.

Pseudoalteromonas Exopolysaccharides

Not decoded yet

Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum

Tamarind gum for emulsification & thickening; tacky at high levels

Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract

Tremella extract; strong humectant and antioxidant; water-soluble, suitable for anti-aging.

Ceratonia Siliqua Gum

Locust bean gum thickener/emulsifier; viscous at high levels, check batch consistency.

Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3

Not decoded yet

Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract

Plantain leaf extract for antimicrobial and astringent use; plant extract with variable potency, patch test for sensitive skin.

Salvia Sclarea Extract

Clary sage extract for sebum regulation and soothing; required labeling as fragrance in lip products, potential sensitization at high levels.

Arginine

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

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Pca

Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.

Sodium Pca

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside

Tea polyphenol analog; antioxidant & skin conditioning

Gallyl Glucoside

Gallate-derived glucoside as antioxidant and skin conditioner; use at low levels, avoid acidic matrix incompatibility.

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Sodium Salicylate

Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Polyglucuronic Acid

Macromolecular polysaccharide; forms films and boosts hydration; molecular weight affects clarity.

Xanthan Gum

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

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

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

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose derivative; viscosity booster and emulsion stabilizer; pH sensitive.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

Citric Acid

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

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Ethoxydiglycol

Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load

Propyl Gallate

Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
