Ingredients explained

Glycerin

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

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Propanediol

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

Niacinamide

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

Hematite Extract

Not decoded yet

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Acetyl Glutamine

Acetylated glutamine; barrier repair and soothing, suitable for acute or sensitive skin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Powder

Aloe leaf powder for soothing and humectancy; hygroscopic, store dry, can feel tacky at high loads

Bacillus/Folic Acid Ferment Filtrate Extract

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

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

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Chondrus Crispus Extract

Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive

Copper Gluconate

Copper gluconate; trace antioxidant/repair agent. Use <0.05%; high levels cause color change/irritation.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Glycine Soja Extract

Contains soy protein for skin conditioning; soy protein may be allergenic, patch test for sensitive skin.

Gold

Gold in nano or microparticle form, for coloring and slip; usage restricted by regulations

Jasminum Officinale Oil

Jasmine oil containing potent allergens (e.g., jasmine lactone); EU 26 allergen requiring mandatory labeling; high sensitization risk.

Lecithin

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

Magnesium Aspartate

Magnesium aspartate; water-soluble chelant/conditioner. Use at 1-2%; check chelation efficiency.

Menthoxypropanediol

Menthol derivative; cooling agent for immediate freshness; concentration control to avoid irritation.

SH-Oligopeptide-1

Synthetic short oligopeptide for skin conditioning; generally low irritancy and comedogenicity

SH-Oligopeptide-2

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Tocopherol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Zinc Gluconate

Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
