Ingredients explained

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Polyglyceryl-10 Trioleate

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.

Lactobacillus/Milk Ferment Filtrate

Not decoded yet

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Yogurt Extract

Not decoded yet

Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract

Imperata root extract; traditional TCM ingredient for skin conditioning. No public data on irritancy or comedogenicity.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides

Common lightweight ester oil; pleasant skin feel, high biocompatibility for moisturizing bases.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Ethyl Ferulate

Antioxidant that slows lipid oxidation; usable in both aqueous and oil phases.

Polyglyceryl-5 Oleate

Polyglyceryl ester emulsifier derived from plant oils; generally low comedogenicity.

Acrylate/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked copolymer used as a water-free thickening and film-forming agent.

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%.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

Peptide actives for skin conditioning; typically used at low levels.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Hydrolyzed Rna

Hydrolyzed RNA; small molecule conditioner; moisturizing and repair

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
