Ingredients explained

Aqua Demineralisata

Not decoded yet

Collagen

Hydrating conditioning agent; soluble protein used in hair care and toners; forms occlusive layer.

Glycerin

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

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Niacinamide

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

Propanediol

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

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Amylopectin

Polysaccharide as binder and viscosity controller; starch-derived, no significant skin irritation

Propylene 20

Not decoded yet

Glycol

Humectant and solvent; low levels required as high concentrations can be irritating; purity critical.

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Xanthan Gum

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

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid for skin brightening; generally mild at low external doses.

Hexylresorcinol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Tocopherol

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

E Acetate

Geranyl acetate fragrance; sensitizer, limit per IFA, avoid on sensitive skin.

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extract

Evodia fruit extract for skin conditioning; bitter, alkaloid-rich, avoid long-term acidic compatibility

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Disodium EDTA

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers

Ci 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Ci 16255
