Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Isoamyl Laurate
- Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate
- Plant-derived emulsifier, mild feel; for O/W systems, combine with co-emulsifiers
- Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquioleate
- Mild non-ionic polyglyceryl emulsifier; suitable for natural claims, moderate emulsifying power
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil
- Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.
- Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract
- Bamboo stem extract; low-concentration skin conditioner, no significant irritancy data.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter
- Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Stearoyl Glutamic Acid
- Amino acid surfactant for gentle cleansing; antagonizes cationic surfactants, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Fragrance*
- Complex fragrance for odor; contains allergens, must comply with EU 26-labeling rules
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
