Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Glycerin

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

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil

Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Panthenol

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

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

Peptide actives for skin conditioning; typically used at low levels.

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Ubiquinone

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Trifolium Pratense Flower Extract

Red clover flower extract; astringent and fragrance, test for sensitization

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Butylene Glycol

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Carya Ovata Bark Extract

Not decoded yet

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

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