Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate
- Light synthetic ester emollient; non-greasy, low comedogenic risk, suitable for oily and sensitive skin formulas.
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Arachidyl Alcohol
- Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Wine
- Not decoded yet
- Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester
- Acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester for hair and skin; ester structure, avoid for oily skin, check compatibility.
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Arachidyl Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Sorbitan Laurate
- O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.
- Menthyl Lactate
- Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
