Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Olus Oil/Vegetable Oil/Huile Végétale

Generic term for vegetable oils; not a single raw material. Specific oil identity required to assess stability, comedogenicity, and texture.

Propanediol

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

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Butylene Glycol

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Beheneth-25

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.

Disodium EDTA

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

Dunaliella Salina Extract

Microalgal extract used as a skin conditioning agent for soothing and barrier support; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Rhizobian Gum

Biofilm former and viscosity agent for hair; biocompatible and mild

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Dehydroacetic Acid

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

Linalool

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

Lavandula Hybrida Oil

Essential oil for emollience and fragrance; contains allergens like linalool, requires EU 26 labeling

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract

Not decoded yet

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage

Chlorphenesin

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

Plankton Extract

Plankton extract for skin conditioning; low concentrations typical, ensure source purity to avoid microbial contamination.

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil

Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Caramel

Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.

Cinnamomum Camphora Wood Oil

Not decoded yet

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil

Botanical essential oil for fragrance; contains allergenic constituents, sensitive to reactive skin.

Tocopherol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil

Sweet orange oil; fragrance/antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use at night or with SPF.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Tephrosia Purpurea Seed Extract

Skin conditioning seed extract with polyphenols; verify batch stability and microbial limits.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Menthol

Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes

Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil

Clove leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; irritant risk at high levels, restricted by EU.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Lactic Acid/Glycolic Acid Copolymer

AHA copolymer; exfoliating, requires buffering agents.

Phenylpropanol

Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-50

Not decoded yet
