Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Glycerin

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Niacinamide

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

Propanediol

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

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Ethylhexyl Olivate

Oleate ester emollient; light feel, high comedogenic rating, limit for acne-prone skin.

C9-12 Alkane

C9-12 alkanes; solvent and emollient. Lightweight feel, verify source and refining history.

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Diglucosyl Gallic Acid

Diglucosyl gallic acid from tea, hair antioxidant; water-soluble, gentle on scalp

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Sorbitan Sesquiisostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; very low irritation when pure, but patch testing is recommended for sensitive consumers.

Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil

Inca Inchi oil; Omega-9 rich emollient. Use <5%; pair with antioxidants to prevent oxidation.

Morus Alba Leaf Extract

Mulberry leaf extract with polyphenols; low-concentration and gentle, no significant allergenic data

Calcium Chloride

Cross-linker and viscosity controller for gels; astringent at high levels, check skin tolerance

Sea Salt/Maris Sal/Sel Marin

Mineral source NaCl with trace elements; humectant at high levels, may cause dryness.

Sodium Stearate

Sodium stearate, soap-based anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; alkaline, caution for sensitive skin

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Quercetin

Flavonoid antioxidant; low water solubility, use in conjugate form, light sensitive.

PPG- 8-Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Sodium Carrageenan

Seaweed-derived thickener and stabilizer, 0.5-1.5% adjusts viscosity; sensitive to ions, test compatibility with cationic surfactants.

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Xanthan Gum

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer thickener at 0.5–2%; incompatible with cationics, dilute first, PEG-modified

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

Sodium Citrate

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

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Tocopherol

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

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sorbeth-30 Tetraisostearate

Sorbeth-30 tetraisostearate, non-ionic emulsifier; mild O/W emulsifier with cleansing properties.

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.

Titanium Dioxide

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