Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.

Glycerin

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

Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully

PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate

PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.

Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate

Sodium cocoyl glycinate; mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; precipitate in hard water, use chelators

Phenoxyethanol

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

Chloride K

KCl osmotic buffer; irritating at high concentrations

Citric Acid

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

Menthyl Lactate

Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Disodium EDTA

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

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Zinc Pca

Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Polyquaternium-7

Not decoded yet

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Butylene Glycol

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

Lecithin

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

Tocopherol

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil

Chia seed extract rich in omega-3/6; moisturizes and conditions skin, monitor oxidation stability.

Chlorphenesin

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

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Beta-Sitosterol

Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.

Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract

Perilla leaf extract with rosmarinic acid; conditioning and soothing, use low concentration, avoid acid conflicts.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

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

Oenothera Biennis Oil

Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Perilla Ocymoides Seed Oil

Perilla seed oil, rich in ALA; skin conditioning agent, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants and store cool.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
