Formulation view A repair cream using fatty acid and plant wax emulsification, combined with niacinamide and panthenol to strengthen the barrier. It features squalane and multiple oils for deep nourishment, plus soothers. Ideal for dry or sensitive skin. Factory view: the non-ionic emulsion system provides a smooth texture, but the multi-active formulation requires strict temperature control during emulsification to prevent layer separation.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol

Antioxidant and skin conditioning agent; effective at low levels, test for sensitivity.

Glycerin

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

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter

Shea butter, occlusive emollient for dry skin and hair; high in lipids, caution for oily skin

Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid

Non-ionic buffer to adjust pH around 5.5; commonly used at 0.1–0.5%

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Oleyl Alcohol

Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.

Arachidyl Alcohol

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

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Panthenol

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

Niacinamide

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

Dimethicone

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

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Bis-PEG/PPG-16/16 PEG/PPG-16/16 Dimethicone

Modified silicone emulsifier/surfactant for silky feel and oil emulsification; contains PEG/PPG, caution for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Candelilla Cera/Candelilla Wax

Candelilla wax, a plant-derived occlusive and thickener for solid and emulsion systems; may be comedogenic.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate

Mild emulsifier and emollient with cleansing function; suitable for baby and sensitive skin, low irritancy.

4-T-Butylcyclohexanol

Fixative and scent masker; not a primary skin conditioning agent.

Arachidyl Glucoside

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

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

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Citric Acid

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

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products

Linalool

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
