Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Propanediol

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

C13-15 Alkane

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

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Glycerin

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Pentaerythrityl Distearate

Oil-soluble emulsifier/wax; improves cream hardness and shine, typical use 1-5%, non-ionic

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data

Panthenol

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

Saccharum Officinarum Extract

Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract

Enantia chlorantha bark; traditional African herb for skin. Very limited data; require supplier safety dossier.

Acer Saccharum Extract

Maple extract; NMF/AA source; gentle humectant, no public irritant/comedogenic data

Biosaccharide Gum-4

Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk

Oleanolic Acid

Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Steareth-21

Not decoded yet

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Octadecyl Di-T-Butyl-4-Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

Lipophilic antioxidant for oil phases; protects against oxidation.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
