Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Diethylhexyl Carbonate

Light emollient for silky texture; non-comedogenic, suits most skin types.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

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.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Glycoproteins

Glycoproteins for hydration and conditioning; enhance skin barrier; verify source for vegan requirements.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.

Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil

Crambe abyssinica seed oil for hair/skin; oleic-rich, high oleic ratio may be comedogenic

Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil

Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.

Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid for skin brightening; generally mild at low external doses.

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.

Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract

Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage

Scutellaria baicalensis

Not decoded yet

Acetyl tyrosine

Tyrosine derivative used in tanning or skin conditioning; acts as a precursor or modulator in formulas.

Arbutin

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical use 1-2%, comply with EU restrictions on specific arbutins.

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Lecithin

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

Glycerin

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Butylene Glycol

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

Water

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

Citrus Reticulata Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract containing photosensitizing compounds; handle with care to avoid photo-reactions, subject to EU restrictions.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

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

Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract

Cell-culture apple extract for antioxidant skin conditioning

Xanthan Gum

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

Creatine

Skin conditioning agent for moisturizing and anti-aging; used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Lithospermum Officinale Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Oryza Sativa Lees Extract

Rice bran extract with lipids and vitamins for skin conditioning; low comedogenicity, suitable for dry or sensitive skin

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Sodium acrylates copolymer

Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Perfume

Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.

o-Cymen-5-ol

Antioxidant and antimicrobial; low levels for preservation; irritating at high concentrations, restricted use.
