- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate
- Multi-glyceride emulsifier system for gentle emulsification; unsaturated esters prone to oxidation
- Isosorbide
- Not decoded yet
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Helianthus Annuus Hybrid Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed Oil
- Bilberry seed oil, antioxidant and skin conditioner. Rich in GLA; store away from light to prevent oxidation.
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Bakuchiol
- Bakuchiol; antioxidant and conditioning. Often an A-alternative, prone to oxidation and color shift, needs stabilization.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside
- Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Curcuma Longa Callus Lysate
- Not decoded yet
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract
- Magnolia bark extract with honokiol; antimicrobial and conditioning, use within safe effective range.
- Inonotus Obliquus Extract
- Inonotus obliquus extract for skin conditioning; limited functional data
- Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide
- Tremella polysaccharide; high-hold humectant that forms a water-retaining film, low irritation
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract
- Carrot root extract with carotenoids; skin conditioning, low photosensitivity, may stain.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Phytic Acid
- Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- 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%.
