Ingredients explained

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Propanediol

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

Dimethicone

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Panthenol

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

Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether

Ethyl ascorbyl ether antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid, minimal irritation at low concentrations.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.

Disodium EDTA

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

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Gardenia Extract

Gardenia extract with crocin-like pigments; yellow colorant, poor light stability, fades in daylight, formula needs light protection

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Sunflower Seed Oil

Vegetable oil, high linoleic acid; prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants, shelf-life sensitive.

Butylene Glycol

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

Tocopherol

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

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Methyl Trimethicone

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

Niacinamide

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Safflower Seed Oil

Not decoded yet

Camellia Seed Oil

Camellia Seed Oil, moisturizing hair & skin; low irritation, screen for allergens

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Denatured Alcohol

Denatured alcohol solvent/speed-dry; can dry skin, limit for sensitive types.

Carrot Extract

Carrot extract, beta-carotene source for color/antioxidant; oil-soluble, needs emulsification, color unstable

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

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

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.
