Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Dicaprylyl ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Potassium lactate

Buffer and humectant at 1–5%; adjusts pH to 4.5–5.5, boosts moisture, low irritancy.

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Aesculus Hippocastanum Extract

Astringent/antioxidant for eye/sensitive formulas; contains saponins, use at 0.1–1% to avoid irritation.

Maris Aqua

Seawater solvent & humectant; mineral-rich, caution on sensitive skin

Phenethyl alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Laminaria Digitata Extract

Seaweed extract for skin protection; moderate concentration to avoid osmotic irritation.

CHLORELLA EXTRACT

Not decoded yet

Lysolecithin

Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Glycolipids

Cell membrane lipids mimicking skin barrier structure; used in repair formulations and biomimetic membranes

Glycine Soja Sterols

Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin

Lactic Acid

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

Lactobacillus

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

Tocopherol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Sodium phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Benzyl Alcohol

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

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
