Ingredients explained

Aqua
Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
Saccharide Isomerate
Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
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
Cetearyl Isononanoate
Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin
Cocoglycerides
Coco-glycerides act as emulsifiers and skin conditioning agents; gentle, often used in soap-free formulations.
Cyclopentasiloxane
Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
Nylon-12
Not decoded yet
Polyacrylamide
Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
Capryloyl Glycine
Functional surfactant with seborrhea-control properties; suited for oily or acne-prone skin.
Ethyl Linoleate
Fatty acid ester emollient for dryness; prone to oxidation, requires light protection.
Phenoxyethanol
Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
C13-14 Isoparaffin
Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
Hexylene Glycol
Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
Lauric Acid
Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice
Jerusalem artichoke root juice, rich in polysaccharides, moisturiser; natural, prone to spoilage, needs preservatives
Beta-Glucan
Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
Potassium Sorbate
Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil
Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.
Sodium Benzoate
Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
Sarcosine
Sarcosine, skin conditioning/pH buffer; check charge interaction with cationic surfactants.
Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract
Antimicrobial and antioxidant extract; strictly limit dosage due to potential irritation
Laureth-7
Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
Ethylhexylglycerin
Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
Maltodextrin
High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
Glyceryl Polyacrylate
Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive
Lactobacillus
Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.
Limonene
Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
Linalool
Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
