Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Isostearyl Palmitate

Not decoded yet

Cetyl Ricinoleate

Plant-derived ester for emolliency and gloss; low irritancy and comedogenicity, suitable for dry skin.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Butylene Glycol

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Sigesbeckia Orientalis Extract

Botanical skin conditioning and tonic agent; often used for antioxidant and repair benefits

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Castanea Sativa Seed Extract

Tannin- and phytate-rich seed extract used as an antioxidant skin conditioner.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Yeast Extract\Faex\Extrait De Levure

Yeast ferment filtrate rich in amino acids and peptides; used for repair and moisture, may cause sensitivity in some.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract

Rosemary extract; antimicrobial; photo-toxic and allergen risks.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Creatine

Skin conditioning agent for moisturizing and anti-aging; used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Propylene Glycol Dicaprate

Lightweight emollient ester; replaces mineral oils with non-greasy feel; good for oily skin systems

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Helianthus Annuus Seedcake

Sunflower seed cake; physical exfoliant and bulking agent. Coarse texture, use caution for sensitive skin, requires homogenization.

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Sodium Rna

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Glycerin

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

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Hexylene Glycol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Disodium Nadh

Not decoded yet

Micrococcus Lysate

Micrococcus ferment lysate with peptides/metabolites; low concentration skin conditioner, ensure sterile process.

Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Cationic modified protein for hair conditioning; flocculates with anionic surfactants.

Xanthan Gum

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

Adenosine Phosphate

Not decoded yet

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Ascorbyl Tocopheryl Maleate

Vitamin C/E derivative with strong antioxidant activity; aqueous-unstable, requires light protection and cold storage, 0.1–1%.

Ptfe

PTFE as insoluble filler; inert and non-allergenic, but control particle size to avoid physical irritation

Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid

Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Phenoxyethanol

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