Ingredients explained
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf
- Aloe leaf extract mainly as fragrance; watch essential oil allergens
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.
- Beta-Glucan
- Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
- Fucoidan
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Ascorbyl Polypeptide
- Not decoded yet
- Tocotrienols
- Vitamin E isomer; potent antioxidant for lipid protection and UV synergy, light and heat sensitive.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ferulic Acid
- Antioxidant, often combined with vitamin C and E; 0.5-2%, photolabile
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Lentinus Edodes
- Not decoded yet
- Ulva Lactuca
- Not decoded yet
- Alteromonas Macleodii
- Not decoded yet
- Ammonium Glycolate
- Glycolic acid salt for keratolysis and buffering; concentrations above 5% require caution for irritation and photosensitivity.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Rumex Crispus Root Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Ergocalciferol
- Not decoded yet
- Astaxanthin
- Potent lipophilic antioxidant from algae; effective at trace levels (0.001-0.01%), prone to photodegradation, requires encapsulation or protection.
- Camellia Sinensis
- Not decoded yet
- Centella Asiatica
- Centella asiatica, contains triterpenes and saponins for wound healing; low irritation at low conc.
- Chamomile Matricaria
- Not decoded yet
- Echinacea Augustifolia
- Not decoded yet
- Ginkgo Biloba
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydrolyzed Pearl Nacre
- Not decoded yet
- Chitosan
- Chitosan film former and hair fixative; crustacean-derived, label as allergen, high concentrations may cause itching.
- Tourmaline
- Tourmaline mineral powder for viscosity control or tactile modification. Inert and non-irritating; manage dust inhalation risks during manufacturing.
- Volcanic Obsidian
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- PEG-8/Smdi Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
