Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate
- New UV filter (UVA/UVB); EU limits 2.8%/1.4%, potential sensitizer, stability required
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone
- PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice
- Jerusalem artichoke root juice, rich in polysaccharides, moisturiser; natural, prone to spoilage, needs preservatives
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Aspergillus Ferment
- Aspergillus ferment extract; skin conditioner rich in polysaccharides; potential allergen, buffer formulation
- Zingiber Officinale Root Extract
- Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.
- Lactobacillus
- Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.
- 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.
