Ingredients explained

Water

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

Cyclomethicone

Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Butylene Glycol

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Propanediol

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone conditioning agent providing smooth, non-greasy feel; suitable for both hair and skin

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

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

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract

Plant extract with mucilage and saponins; acts as skin emollient and conditioning agent.

Houttuynia Cordata Extract

Houttuynia cordata extract for anti-inflammatory and soothing effects; contains volatile oils, patch test recommended for sensitive skin.

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate

Plant-derived emulsifier, mild feel; for O/W systems, combine with co-emulsifiers

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Saccharide Hydrolysate

Saccharide hydrolysate, strong humectant with hygroscopic properties; suitable for various dosage forms.

Zea Mays Oil

Corn oil; light emollient and stabilizer. Low comedogenic rating (1). Use at 2-5% as carrier.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Pullulan

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

Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate

Mild O/W emulsifier; suitable for sensitive-skin formulations.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Sucrose Stearate

Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Glyceryl Caprylate

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

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil

Essential oil providing woody fragrance and skin conditioning; contains allergens, limited by III/122

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil

Linoleic-rich seed oil; high oxidation risk, requires antioxidants and light protection to maintain stability

Cardiospermum Halicacabum Flower/Leaf/Vine Extract

Plant-derived skin-conditioning extract; used at low levels, stability must be verified.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil Unsaponifiables

Sunflower oil unsaponifiables; squalene, tocopherol. Lightweight antioxidant, sensitive to oxidation, store light-protected and N2 flushed.

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Tocopherol

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

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
