Ingredients explained
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil
- Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Citrus Limon Peel Oil
- Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance
- Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil
- Crambe abyssinica seed oil for hair/skin; oleic-rich, high oleic ratio may be comedogenic
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Citrus Limon Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
- Lemon extract with phototoxic furanocoumarins; avoid sun exposure or use SPF, higher irritancy.
- Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
- Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation
- Lactobacillus/Arundinaria Gigantea Ferment Filtrate
- Probiotic ferment filtrate with peptides and sugars, provides film and hydration; bio-derived, monitor storage activity and preservation.
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Benzyl Acetate
- Benzyl acetate; fruity fragrance, EU allergen
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Calcium Gluconate
- Chelator and conditioner, improves stability; water-soluble calcium source
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Coco-Caprylate/-Caprate
- Light emollient from coconut; non-greasy, low comedogenicity, suits oily skin.
- Coconut Alkanes
- Coconut alkanes as solvents/emollients with medium volatility; check oxidation stability.
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Isoamyl Salicylate
- Ester fragrance, rose note; salicylate ester, potential irritant for phenol-allergic at high dose.
- Sodium Anisate
- Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Terpineol
- Terpineol providing herbal scent with mild preservative synergy; allergen ingredient, high dose may cause dermatitis.
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Gluconolactone
- Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
