Ingredients explained

C15-19 Alkane

Isoparaffinic oil; light texture, petroleum-derived, requires full hydrotreatment per regulations.

Glycerin

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

Cocoyl Adipic Acid/Trimethylolpropane Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Propanediol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

PPG-12/Smdi Copolymer

Film former, hair styling, volatile, dry touch, non-comedogenic.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Arginine

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

3-O-Ethyl ascorbate; water-soluble antioxidant, requires stabilization

Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract

Watermelon extract; L-citrulline/sugar; low-conc humectant, mild, no pub comed data

Lens Esculenta Fruit Extract

Lentil extract; protein/sugar; low-conc conditioning, mild, no pub data

Malus Sylvestris Flower Extract

Not decoded yet

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Papaver Rhoeas Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Plankton Extract

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Salicornia Herbacea Extract

Sea spinach extract rich in polysaccharides and minerals; primarily for soothing and skin conditioning.

Myrciaria Dubia Fruit Extract

Fruit extract for skin conditioning; low irritation, suitable as auxiliary active; no public comedogenic data.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Trisodium EDTA

Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.

Sodium PCA

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

Tin Oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Butylene Glycol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Red 40

Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
