Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Bifida Ferment Lysate
- Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Marrubium Vulgare Extract
- Saponarin-rich extract for soothing and hydration; typical in photoprotection or sensitive skin formulas
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate
- Multi-glyceride emulsifier system for gentle emulsification; unsaturated esters prone to oxidation
- Polyglyceryl-2 Oleate
- Polyglyceryl-2 oleate, plant-based emulsifier/thickener, 0.5–3%; amphiphilic, good for creams.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Acetic Acid
- Provides sourness or buffering; high concentrations are corrosive, pH control is critical in leave-on products
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol
- Ergothioneine analog antioxidant; stabilizes formula, protect from light.
