Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Butylene Glycol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Propanediol

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

Peumus Boldus Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Bis-PEG-12 Dimethicone

Not decoded yet

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract

Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, source of resveratrol antioxidant; water or alcohol soluble, check color shift with iron ions

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Sodium Shale Oil Sulfonate

Not decoded yet

Onopordum Acanthium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Not decoded yet

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Micrococcus Lysate

Micrococcus ferment lysate with peptides/metabolites; low concentration skin conditioner, ensure sterile process.

Glycerin

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

Sodium PCA

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

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Hexylene Glycol

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

Polyquaternium-51

Not decoded yet

Triacetin

Triglyceride acetate solvent/plasticizer; low viscosity, high volatility, may dry skin if unbalanced.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Ecklonia Cava Extract

Brown algae extract for skin conditioning; good solubility, low irritation

Hizikia Fusiforme Extract

Seaweed extract for hydration; potential allergen, use with caution in sensitive skin.

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract

Red algae extract acting as a skin protecting agent, often used for hydration or soothing, check stability.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Bacillus/Soybean/Folic Acid Ferment Extract

Not decoded yet

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate

Potent anti-inflammatory and soothing agent; often combined with glycyrrhiza extracts; stability depends on pH and cationic system compatibility.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Phenoxyethanol

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

Chlorphenesin

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

Glycerin

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

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels

Disodium EDTA

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