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
- Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Extract
- Shea butter extract for conditioning and moisture; extraction may leave trace impurities, comedogenicity follows base oil rating of 2.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Rhamnose
- Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Polyquaternium-51
