Ingredients explained

Water

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

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Ethyl Undecylenate

Not decoded yet

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Propanediol

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

C14-22 alcohols

Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

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

Cetyl palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Cetearyl Olivate

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

Sorbitan Olivate

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

C13-15 Alkane

Mineral oil derivative as solvent and spreader; low irritation and allergen, ensure high purity free of carcinogens

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Caprae lac

Goat milk extract with proteins and lipids; low usage as conditioner; caution for allergy

Hydrolyzed Milk Protein

Hydrolyzed milk protein, moisturizer; label for lactose/milk protein allergy

Coconut Milk

Not decoded yet

Argania spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Sweet Almond Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

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

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.

Sea whip

Not decoded yet

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Tocopherol

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

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Food Starch

Not decoded yet

Zea mays starch

Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control

Maltodextrin

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

Glycerin

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

Citric Acid

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

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Xanthan Gum

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Sodium stearoyl glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Polyglyceryl-4 caprate

Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.

C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside

Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.

Caprylhydroxamic acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
