Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier derived from plant oils; gentle, used in O/W or W/O systems, low irritancy.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Hydrogenated Rapeseed Alcohol
- Not decoded yet
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Rosa Damascena Flower Water
- Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.
- Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract
- Vanilla extract adds scent and soothing; acts as natural fragrance, dose carefully.
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Pimpinella Anisum Fruit Extract
- Pimpinella anisum fruit extract, provides fragrance and conditioning; allergenic potential.
- Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract
- Pear fruit extract with polyphenols and antioxidants; moisturizing and protective; juice-based, requires preservative and stability management.
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract
- Ivy extract for soothing/astringent skin care; usually acts in synergy.
- Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract
- Watermelon extract; L-citrulline/sugar; low-conc humectant, mild, no pub comed data
- Santalum Album Wood Extract
- Sandalwood extract; soothing conditioner with woody scent. Watch for batch variance and sensitization.
- Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract
- Lycium barbarum extract; astringent and conditioner. Use at 1-2%; contains polysaccharides and antioxidants.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
