Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Glycerin

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

Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate

Light synthetic ester emollient; non-greasy, low comedogenic risk, suitable for oily and sensitive skin formulas.

Propanediol

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

Arachidyl Alcohol

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Coco-Glucoside

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

Oryza Sativa Starch

Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil

Pongam oil, rich in oleic/unsaturated fats for hair/skin care; comedogenicity unknown.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Arachidyl Glucoside

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

Isostearic Acid

Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy

Lecithin

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate

Mild emulsifier for O/W systems; 1-3%, avoid cationic surfactants

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Passiflora Edulis Fruit Extract

Passion fruit extract with polysaccharides/vitamins; moisturizing/antioxidant, no known allergens.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Oil

Blueberry seed oil rich in GLA; supports skin barrier repair; moderate comedogenic risk, patch test recommended.

Xanthan Gum

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

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil

Sea buckthorn oil rich in carotenoids; viscous and may stain light formulations.

Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil

Citrus essential oil; photosensitizing furanocoumarins present, limit daytime use; EU 26 allergen.

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil

Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization

Cinnamomum Camphora Linalloliferum Leaf Oil

Not decoded yet

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Glucose

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

Parfum*

Not decoded yet

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Tocopherol

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

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate

Hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate emollient for smoothness and richness.

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Citronellol

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

Geraniol

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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