Ingredients explained
- Aqua / Water / Eau
- Solvent base, highest %; sterility required; impacts solubility and stability of other ingredients
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Ptfe
- PTFE as insoluble filler; inert and non-allergenic, but control particle size to avoid physical irritation
- Methylsilanol/Silicate Crosspolymer
- Siloxane crosspolymer for smooth, matte texture; non-comedogenic, but check compatibility with other silicones.
- Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid
- 3-Hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, phenolic antioxidant; stable but requires light protection, mild skin irritation at high levels.
- Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide / Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate
- Anionic thickener/stabilizer for creams/gels; water-soluble polymer, low irritation, potential incompatibility with other ionic ingredients.
- Ellagic Acid
- SKIN CONDITIONING
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Inulin Lauryl Carbamate
- Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate / Steareth-8 Methacrylate Copolymer
- Quaternary ammonium acrylate copolymer, water-soluble film former and thickener; provides light feel, pH sensitive.
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Ci 77891 / Titanium Dioxide
- Titanium dioxide, a physical occluder and UV-A filter; color matching required in formulations.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Faex Extract / Yeast Extract / Extrait De Levure
- Yeast extract rich in B-vitamins and amino acids for hydration; verify microbial control and allergens in ferment products.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Ppg-5-Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
