Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Centella Asiatica

Centella asiatica, contains triterpenes and saponins for wound healing; low irritation at low conc.

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Butylene Glycol

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

Shea Butter

Natural butter providing emollient and occlusive moisturizing; used as emollient and emulsifier.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Jojoba Seed Oil

Jojoba seed oil; ester-rich, skin-like emollient; low irritation potential.

Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil

Light emollient oil rich in oleic acid; moderate comedogenic risk.

Betaine

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

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate

Bio-mimetic lipid ester for emulsification and texture; provides high slip and is suitable for silicone-free formulas.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Glycerin

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Glycosphingolipids

Lipids mimicking sebum to repair skin barrier and reduce TEWL. Biological origin, low irritancy.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Ethylhexyl Glycerin

Mild solvent and humectant at 1–5%; non-irritating, pairs well with other moisturizers

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Edetate Disodium
