Formulation view Based on tea tree extracts and essential oils, this cream uses glycerin, polyols, and synthetic esters for the oil phase. It includes panthenol, centella, and perilla for repair and hydration. The emulsification system combines emulsifiers and waxes for stability. Suitable for oily to mixed skin for oil control. From a factory view, volatile silicones offer a smooth feel but require regulatory compliance, while tea tree oil concentration must be strictly managed.

Ingredients explained

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract

Tea tree leaf extract for skin conditioning and perfuming; allergen risk requires dilution.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ethylhexyl Stearate

Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Betaine

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

Ethyl Hexanediol

Polyol solvent with humectant and mild preservative boost; low viscosity, compatible with many ingredients, gentle.

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Peg-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Palmitic Acid

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract

Hippophae rhamnoides extract, fragrance and skin conditioner; rich in vitamins E and C, watch photosensitivity and color stability.

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Extract
