Ingredients explained

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

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

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

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

Pca Dimethicone

Modified silicone for smoothness and shine; occlusive, suitable for dry hair, avoid excess on oily face.

Butylene Glycol

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

Polyglycerin-3

Not decoded yet

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate

Blue anionic surfactant for cleansing and conditioning; water-soluble, rich foam, premium cost.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Madecassic Acid

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

Asiaticoside

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

Asiatic Acid

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

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Glyceryl Glucoside

Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

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

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Coptis Japonica Root Extract

Coptis root; contains berberine for antibacterial effects, high doses may sensitize, check stability.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Strong anionic emulsifier for O/W emulsions; incompatible with cationic surfactants

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Tocopherol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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