Ingredients explained
- 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
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Stable Vitamin C derivative; water-soluble antioxidant and brightener, solubility pH-dependent
- Pullulan
- Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Acetyl Glucosamine
- Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Glutamine
- Amino acid used for hair and skin conditioning; offers antistatic and moisturizing synergy.
- Tetrapeptide-21
- Tetrapeptide-21 often used for regeneration; requires temperature/light control and careful acid compatibility.
- Capryloyl Carnosine
- Not decoded yet
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2
- Not decoded yet
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Dextran
- Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former for matte feel; often used in emulsion form
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
