Ingredients explained

Acer Mono Sap

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Peg/Ppg-17/6 Copolymer

Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Polyglyceryl-10 Eicosanedioate/Tetradecanedioate

Polyglyceryl-10 ester for conditioning hair and skin; mild, soap-free, suitable for emulsification systems.

Glycerin

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Japanese Coptis Extract

Not decoded yet

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Fructan

Prebiotic humectant, 0.5–2%; modulates microflora, very low comedogenicity

Grifola Frondosa Extract

Not decoded yet

Cordyceps Sinensis Extract

Cordyceps sinensis extract, medicinal herb; antioxidant, humectant, skin protector, control concentration.

Poria Cocos Extract

Poria extract, traditionally used for hydration balance; data limited, usually a co-formulant

Agaricus Blazei Extract

Not decoded yet

Phellinus Linteus Extract

Phellinus linteus polysaccharide at 0.1–0.5% in water phase; boosts hydration, low allergenicity

Ganoderma Lucidum Extract

Botanical extract claimed for skin protection

Tremella Fuciformis Extract

Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation

Propylene Glycol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Copper Tripeptide-1

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) for repair/anti-aging at 0.01–0.1%; water-soluble, avoid chelators.

Triticum Vulgare Flour Extract

Not decoded yet

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Zea Mays Germ Extract

Not decoded yet

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Panthenol

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

Hydrolyzed Pea Protein

Hydrolyzed pea protein; plant-based conditioner/antistatic. Use at 1-3%; requires preservatives.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Ceramide 3

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

Disodium Edta

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

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
