Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- PEG-60 Almond Glycerides
- Gentle almond-based PEG emulsifier; good for sensitive skin, monitor PEG hydrolysis
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for repair and soothing; contains asiaticoside, good for barrier
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Triethylene Glycol
- Polyol viscosity regulator and fragrance carrier at 5-15%; avoid excessive stacking with other glycols to manage viscosity.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Platycarya Strobilacea Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Psoralea Corylifolia Fruit Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sophora Flavescens Root Extract
- Sophora root extract containing matrine, used for oil control and antimicrobial benefits.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid
- Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability
- Oleanolic Acid
- Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
