Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil

Kukui nut oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids; provides moisture and conditioning, no clear comedogenic data.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic acid Copolymer

Emollient and emulsifier copolymer derived from castor oil

Octyldodecyl Citrate Crosspolymer

Film-forming humectant; forms moisture-locking film; 1-5% typical; good compatibility, used in moisturizers.

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data

Behentrimonium chloride

Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Methyl trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Ethyl macadamiate

Ethyl ester of macadamia oleic acid; lightweight skin conditioning; low comedogenicity

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol

Hydrolyzed wheat protein and silane derivative; provides conditioning, assess wheat allergy

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

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

PEG-8 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone offering slip and spreadability; helps disperse silicone ingredients, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose derivative; viscosity booster and emulsion stabilizer; pH sensitive.

Polyquaternium-4

Not decoded yet

Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer

Silicone copolymer for anti-caking and film formation, gives non-greasy slip.

Dimethicone PEG-8 Polyacrylate

Not decoded yet

Panthenol

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

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Butylene Glycol

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

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Benzyl salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Tartaric acid

Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

ORANGE 4

Orange 4, a synthetic colorant for cosmetics; restricted pigment, must comply with regulatory limits.

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.

Caramel

Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
