Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Glycerin

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

Isoamyl Laurate

Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

Olus Oil

Squalane derivative or plant oil for emollience; specify exact source

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Shea Butter Ethyl Esters

Shea-derived esters for smooth emolliency; more stable than raw shea butter.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Isoamyl Cocoate

Light ester with high comedogenic risk; prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil

Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage

Magnesium Pca

Magnesium PCA; chelator and humectant with synergistic Mg/PCA action; low irritation, water-soluble.

Pelargonium Graveolens Oil

Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.

Salvia Sclarea Extract

Clary sage extract for sebum regulation and soothing; required labeling as fragrance in lip products, potential sensitization at high levels.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Camelina Sativa Seed Oil

Camelina sativa seed oil; rich in ALA and vitamin E; emollient and antioxidant; may feel greasy due to high fatty acid content.

Cupressus Sempervirens Leaf/Stem Extract

Not decoded yet

Laminaria Digitata Extract

Seaweed extract for skin protection; moderate concentration to avoid osmotic irritation.

Parfum*

Not decoded yet

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Plankton Extract

Plankton extract for skin conditioning; low concentrations typical, ensure source purity to avoid microbial contamination.

Tocopherol

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
