Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether
- Solvent and skin conditioning agent improving texture; contains PEG structure for solubilization
- Tranexamic Acid
- Tranexamic acid for skin brightening; generally mild at low external doses.
- PEG/PPG-17/4 Dimethyl Ether
- PEG/PPG polymer humectant; high levels may cause tackiness, balance with other agents
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate
- Potent anti-inflammatory and soothing agent; often combined with glycyrrhiza extracts; stability depends on pH and cationic system compatibility.
- Polyquaternium-51
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Ascorbyl Tocopheryl Phosphate
- Stable water-soluble antioxidant; keep pH acidic, use chelators if metal ions present
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
- Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract
- Paeon lactiflora root extract with paeoniflorin; 0.1–1%, skin conditioning; watch oxidizers.
- Rosa Canina Fruit Extract
- Rich in Vit C and polyphenols, astringent; water-soluble, unstable, add at low temp.
- Origanum Majorana Leaf Extract
- Oregano leaf extract with thymol/carvacrol; anti-sebum claims, essential oil allergen risk.
- Rubus Suavissimus Leaf Extract
- Polyphenol-rich extract for antioxidant and soothing; used as natural skin care additive.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24
- Nonionic emulsifier/solubilizer; low foam, mild, for emulsions, avoid with soaps to prevent precipitation
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
