Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Propylene Glycol Stearate
- Lipophilic humectant and emulsifier at 0.5–5%; very low comedogenicity
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Royal Jelly Extract
- Royal jelly extract for skin conditioning; contains animal proteins, contraindicated for bee allergies
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract
- Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin
