Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate

Silicon-based Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant activity and viscosity control; superior stability compared to traditional Vitamin C, suitable for formulation.

Glycerin

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Propanediol

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

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Glucosyl Hesperidin

Flavonoid glycoside, antioxidant, improves circulation, non-irritating.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Anogeissus Leiocarpus Bark Extract

Bark extract for skin protection; no major incompatibilities noted.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Tocopherol

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

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Adenosine

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

Saccharide Isomerate

Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Citric Acid

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

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Xanthan Gum

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate

Plant-derived emulsifier, mild feel; for O/W systems, combine with co-emulsifiers

Zea Mays Starch

Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control

Phytic Acid

Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.

Biosaccharide Gum-2

Not decoded yet

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Lauryl Glucoside

Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract

Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.
