Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether
- Solvent and skin conditioning agent improving texture; contains PEG structure for solubilization
- Potassium Methoxysalicylate
- Not decoded yet
- Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment
- Ferment filtrate; hydrating, requires preservative support.
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone
- Phenyl trimethicone for anti-foaming and slip; silicone-based, silky feel
- 2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Stable Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant protection; pH control needed for high doses.
- Erythritol
- Polyol humectant with light feel; high hygroscopy, watch in dry climates.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Citrus Junos Fruit Extract
- Yuzu peel extract; provides antioxidants, low concentration reduces photosensitivity risk.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
- Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for W/O systems; moderate comedogenicity, monitor oil feel.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Isostearyl Alcohol
- Non-ionic emulsifier and thickener providing body; at 2-5% enhances emulsion stability.
- Isostearic Acid
- Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Red 33
- FD&C Red 33 synthetic dye; verify metal impurities; monitor sensitive users.
- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
