Highlights

Free of parabensFree of siliconesFree of sulfatesFree of mineral oilFree of formaldehyde releasersContains animal-derivedContains PEGContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains essential oilsContains alcohol

Formulation view Water-free or low-water O/W system rich in Squalane and antioxidant glucosides. Includes signaling peptides, SOD, and amino acid complexes. No traditional preservatives. Factory insight: High active load relies on polyols for self-preservation; light texture but durability depends on occlusives, suited for high-tolerance users seeking advanced anti-aging.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Propanediol

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

Hexyldecanol

Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Butylene Glycol

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

Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside

Tea polyphenol analog; antioxidant & skin conditioning

Rosmarinyl Glucoside

Antioxidant glycoside from rosemary; stabilizes formulations with low irritation

Caffeyl Glucoside

Caffeoyl glucoside, water-soluble antioxidant and skin conditioner; protects formulation from oxidation.

Gallyl Glucoside

Gallate-derived glucoside as antioxidant and skin conditioner; use at low levels, avoid acidic matrix incompatibility.

Tetrasodium Tetracarboxymethyl Naringeninchalcone

Not decoded yet

Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone

Synthetic fragrance providing fresh sweet note; as an EU 26 listed allergen, evaluate mandatory labeling based on total fragrance load.

4-T-Butylcyclohexanol

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

Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide

Biomimetic lipid, barrier repair, 1-3%; lipophilic, needs emulsification, good for dry skin.

Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid

Bioactive marker in Evening Primrose Oil, antioxidant and soothing; used at low levels

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8

Palmitoyl tripeptide-8 signaling peptide; 0.1–1%, aqueous stability watch

Superoxide Dismutase

Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.

Sodium Pca

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Pca

Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Mirabilis Jalapa Callus Extract

Mirabilis jalapa callus extract with flavonoids; for barrier repair, < 1%.

Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract

Tasmannia lanceolata extract; polygodial, 0.1–1%; antioxidant and antimicrobial; water or oil, high batch variability

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Curculigo Orchioides Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Isochrysis Galbana Extract

Blue tansy extract with chrysanthemyl acetate; conditions skin, high allergen risk, limit usage and label.

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Dextran

Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.

Isoceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopherol

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

Propyl Gallate

Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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