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
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycine Soja Sterols
- Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Hydrolyzed Soybean Fiber
- Hydrolyzed soybean fiber; skin protection and hydration; plant-derived, low sensitization risk
- Mangifera Indica Seed Butter
- Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.
- Hydrolyzed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Hydrolyzed Gum Acacia, natural colloid for thickening and conditioning, low comedogenic.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane
- Not decoded yet
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Laureth-12
- Laureth-12, mild emulsifier, potentially comedogenic at high concentrations
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Dextran
- Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.
