Ingredients explained

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

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

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Glycol Distearate

Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Polyquaternium-7

Not decoded yet

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Coconut Acid

Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsifying; strong surfactant, watch for over-drying in dry skin.

Trisodium EDTA

Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Calcium Titanium Borosilicate

Mineral abrasive and thickener for exfoliation; particle size should be moderate.

Butylene Glycol

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

Sodium Methyltaurate

Gentle anionic surfactant for mild cleansing and foaming; low irritation profile suitable for sensitive skin formulas.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Houttuynia Cordata Extract

Houttuynia cordata extract for anti-inflammatory and soothing effects; contains volatile oils, patch test recommended for sensitive skin.

Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract

Herbal extract with flavonoids; skin conditioning agent, low photosensitization risk, potential irritation at high concentrations.

Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract

Cornelian cherry fruit extract, flavonoid-rich; low-level emollient; verify allergenicity

Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate

Yeast ferment filtrate; humectant and conditioner. May contain peptides, prone to browning, protect from light.

Saussurea Lappa Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Velvet Extract

Velvet extract, traditional tonic; used in trace amounts, limited safety/comedogenic data

Tin Oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.

Ethyl Hexanediol

Polyol solvent with humectant and mild preservative boost; low viscosity, compatible with many ingredients, gentle.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Bambusa Vulgaris Extract

Bamboo extract for soothing and conditioning; polyphenol-rich, limit concentration to minimize irritation.

Cordyceps Sinensis Extract

Cordyceps sinensis extract, medicinal herb; antioxidant, humectant, skin protector, control concentration.

Cynanchum Atratum Extract

Cynanchum extract for conditioning; anti-inflammatory, check batch consistency

Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract

Dioscorea root extract used for moisturizing and repairing, boosts hydration.

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract

Okra fruit extract; humectant and conditioner, rich in polysaccharides, gentle feel

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Corchorus Olitorius Leaf Extract

Botanical leaf conditioning extract; QC needed for batch variability

Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extract

Lotus root extract with polysaccharides; used for soothing and conditioning; generally safe at low concentrations.

Polyglutamic Acid

Natural-derived polypeptide for hydration and skin conditioning; often used for long-lasting moisture
