Ingredients explained
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Olive Oil
- Plant oil base providing emolliency and occlusion; high PUFA content requires antioxidants to prevent oxidation.
- PEG-7 Esters
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Isomalt
- Isomalt humectant; tacky at high levels, non-comedogenic, suitable for sugar-free formulas.
- Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract
- Tannin-rich botanical extract as astringent; typically <1%, potential drying or sensitization, avoid high stacking.
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract
- Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Callicarpa Japonica Fruit Extract
- Japanese Callycarpa fruit extract, traditionally for antimicrobial and astringent effects; generally mild at typical levels.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Lycium Barbarum Callus Culture Extract
- Not decoded yet
