Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Pullulan
- Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate [Nano]/Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Silica for oil absorption and slip; usage 0.5–3%, high oil-absorbing capacity
- Nannochloropsis Oculata Extract
- Microalgae extract for humectancy, antioxidant, and skin conditioning.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Litchi Chinensis Pericarp Extract
- Litchi pericarp extract, flavonoid-rich antioxidant; 0.1–1%, pairs well with metal chelators.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers
