Ingredients explained

Water

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Glycerin

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Propanediol

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

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Adenosine

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

Capryloyl Salicylic Acid

Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Eriobotrya Japonica Leaf Extract

Loquat leaf extract; rich in flavonoids, high batch-to-batch variability

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Mentha Viridis Extract

Spearmint extract providing cooling sensation and fresh scent, contains menthol (non-allergen); use caution in high concentrations for sensitive or children's products.

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract

Sea buckthorn fruit extract for skin conditioning; stable at low levels, check phototoxicity at high doses.

Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment

Microbial fermentation filtrate for conditioning; check pH and microbial limits.

Hexylresorcinol

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical range 0.1-1.5%, potential irritation at high levels, control pH.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Xanthan Gum

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Glucosylrutin

Rutin glucoside form, antioxidant with improved water solubility, low irritation for brightening formulas

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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