Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Alcohol*

Solvent and enhancer; gives light texture but may dry skin at high levels

Glycerin

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*

Natural humectant and soothing agent; high water content requires preservation, batch variability and allergens possible.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Isoamyl Laurate

Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

Fragrance **

Not decoded yet

Lauroyl Lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Sodium PCA

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

Mangifera Indica Fruit Extract*

Not decoded yet

Prunus Persica Fruit Extract*

Not decoded yet

Marrubium Vulgare Extract

Saponarin-rich extract for soothing and hydration; typical in photoprotection or sensitive skin formulas

Fucus Serratus Extract*

Not decoded yet

Butyrospermum Parkii *

Shea butter; rich emollient and occlusive; high comedogenic risk

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Tocopherol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Glycine Soja Oil*

Not decoded yet

Dehydroxanthan Gum

Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.

Dodecane

Light hydrocarbon oil, low-viscosity lubricant; slight occlusion at high levels, oxidizable, add antioxidants

Octyldodecanol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Biosaccharide Gum-1

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

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Glyceryl Caprylate

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

Brassica Campestris Sterols

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

Limonene**

Citrus fragrance ingredient; EU allergen 26, oxidizes easily.

Benzyl Salicylate**

Not decoded yet

Linalool**

Common fragrance ingredient, EU 26 allergen; declare if >0.05%, low photosensitivity

Citral**

Citral, citrus fragrance component; strong allergen, must be labeled, high levels oxidize and change color, may irritate skin.

Geraniol**

Allergen 26 fragrance; high sensitization potential, requires labeling and strict limit control.
