Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Propanediol

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

Glycerin

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

Niacinamide

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Not decoded yet

2-Hexanediol

2-Hexanediol; branched-chain diol solvent and co-preservative, mild odor, weak humectant.

Vinyl Dimethicone

Silicone viscosity modifier at 0.5–5%; provides smooth feel, non-comedogenic

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Butylene Glycol

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

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Enteromorpha Compressa Extract

Compressed Ulva extract, skin protector; watch microbe/heavy-metal QC on algal extracts.

Undaria Pinnatifida Extract

Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for sensitive skin formulations

Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract

Artemisia Princeps leaf extract containing volatile components; potential irritant risk, limit usage and patch test for sensitive skin.

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.

Sea Water/Maris Aqua/Eau De Mer

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Lepidium Meyenii Root Extract

Andean plant extract with antioxidants; used as functional addition, very low conc.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Extract

Not decoded yet

Ceramide AS

Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract

Extract with cooling scent and conditioning; contains essential oil, potential allergen, control dose

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Ceramide NS

Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Madecassic Acid

Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage

Asiatic Acid

Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract

Quinoa seed extract, protein/polypeptide conditioner; water-soluble, check charge interactions with actives.

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.
