Ingredients explained

Water

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

Propanediol

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

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer

Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration

Diethoxyethyl succinate

Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract providing fragrance

Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract

Botanical fruit extract for skin conditioning; usually at low levels, act in synergy.

ORCHID EXTRACT

Orchid extract, moisturizing; efficacy varies by species, standardized extract preferred.

Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract

Camellia leaf extract providing skin conditioning and antioxidant support; gentle with no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Cinnamomum Camphora Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Pinus Pinaster Bark/bud Extract

Not decoded yet

Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract

Cryptomeria leaf extract, humectant & antioxidant; water-soluble, add at low temp to preserve.

Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water

Japanese cypress water used as fragrance/solvent; contains essential oils, sensitivity possible in some.

Zinc Gluconate

Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Aesculus Hippocastanum Seed Extract

Horse chestnut seed extract for skin care; soothing, used in circulation products

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Zea mays starch

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Glyceryl caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Hydrogenated lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Ammonium glycyrrhizate

Soothing anti-inflammatory and emulsifier; derived from licorice, minor allergen risk

Polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.

Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Disodium EDTA

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Chromium Hydroxide Green

Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.
