Ingredients explained

Purified Water

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

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Isopentyldiol

Solvent at 1–10%; helps dissolve actives, fresh feel

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Niacinamide

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

Citrol

Fragrance blend (citrus scent); contains multiple fragrance ingredients, assess allergens.

Extract

Unspecified extract with unknown function; requires supplier species ID and certification before use

Diethoxyethyl Succinate

Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Safflower Extract

Not decoded yet

Hibiscus Flower Extract

Hibiscus extract with polysaccharides and phenolics; moisturizing/conditioning, check plant allergens.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Ethylhexyl-Glycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin, moisturizer/boosting agent; enhances preservation/moisture, gentle, often combined with humectants.

Adenosine

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

Buteth-3

Not decoded yet

Disodium EDTA

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Butylene Glycol

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

Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate

UV-B absorber, often as photostabilizer; 0.1–0.5% active; water-soluble, requires stable pairing

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Ascorbate

Sodium ascorbate; water-soluble vitamin C form, stable antioxidant. Mild at low conc., may irritate at high conc.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether

Ethyl ascorbyl ether antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid, minimal irritation at low concentrations.

Indian Mulberry Leaf Extract

Indian mulberry leaf extract; helps control oil and astringes, contains mild polyphenols.

Indian Mulberry Flower Extract

Indian mulberry flower extract; plant active, monitor allergenicity and concentration.

Turmeric Root Extract

Curcumin source, anti-inflammatory; high doses cause staining, check stability, caution in pregnancy

Philippine Orange Peel Oil

Philippine orange peel oil; essential oil with phototoxic/allergen risk, use at low levels.

Bergamot Oil

Bergamot essential oil; citrus scent but contains furanocoumarins posing phototoxicity risk in daytime use.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Vitamin Tree Fruit Extract

Vitamin tree fruit extract, e.g., pomegranate; high acidity may affect formula pH.

Orange Peel Oil

Essential oil, fresh scent, 0.1-1%; high photosensitivity, boost SPF during day, caution for sensitive skin.

Tributyl Citrate

Tributyl citrate plasticizer/solvent, low toxicity; hygroscopic, long-term protection from moisture/light

Holy Basil Leaf Extract

Holy basil leaf extract with antioxidants; plant source, assess individual sensitization risk.

True Coral Extract

True coral extract; ethical sourcing issues, audit supply chain for sustainability.
