Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Hydrogenated Didecene

Lightweight synthetic ester with quick-dry feel; minimal sensitization risk at high purity; ideal for oily/combo skin

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

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

Isoamyl Laurate

Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Soybean Glycerides

Soybean glycerides as plant-based emollient emulsifier; mild for sensitive skin, oxidation-sensitive

Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer

Hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer for viscosity control; film-forming polymer, generally inert and non-comedogenic.

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Unsaponifiables

Shea butter unsaponifiables, rich in tocotrienols; high purity antioxidant/repair, premium active

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Ascorbyl Palmitate

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

BHT

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Titanium Dioxide

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Bismuth Oxychloride

White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some

Blue 1 Lake

Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit

Chromium Hydroxide Green

Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.

Chromium Oxide Greens

Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics

Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide

Inorganic pigment, blue 1; EU limit 0.1%, prohibited in aerosols, excellent dispersion.

Ferric Ferrocyanide

Colorant (Prussian blue); verify heavy metal limits for cosmetic safety

Manganese Violet

Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams

Red 6

Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations

Red 7 Lake

Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required

Red 28 Lake

Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.

Red 30 Lake

Red 30 lake for color; water-insoluble, requires stable dispersion

Ultramarines

Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.

Yellow 5 Lake

Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions

Yellow 6 Lake

Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations
