Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Glyceryl Stearate Se
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- C12-16 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Papain
- Protease for mild exfoliation; concentration must be controlled to avoid irritation.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Lactis Proteinum/Milk Protein/Protéine Du Lait
- Milk protein for moisturizing and repair; animal allergen risk, good for dry skin, caution for acne-prone
- Ananas Sativus Fruit Extract

- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Porphyridium Cruentum Extract
- Porphyridium cruentum extract, marine algae source, providing skin conditioning
- Cinnamyl Alcohol
- Restricted fragrance in EU; banned at ≥0.1%; used in trace amounts or as precursor.
- Fucus Vesiculosus Extract
- Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.
- Capsicum Annuum Fruit Extract
- Capsicum extract with capsaicinoids that increase microcirculation; high levels are strongly irritating.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Citral
