Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua

Water as base solvent; no irritation, requires microbial control.

Glycerin

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

Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Water

Lavender flower water with精油 components for soothing; contains essential oil, **includes 26 listed allergens** (e.g., linalool), caution for sensitive skin.

Butylene Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Ceramide EOP

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

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Ceramide NP

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

Ceramide AG

Ceramide AP, repairs skin barrier and reduces water loss, low allergenicity

Ceramide AP

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

Phytosphingosine

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

Cholesterol

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

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Glutamic Acid

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

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Threonine

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

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Taurine

Taurine; buffering and chelating. Common in shampoos and eye washes, water-soluble.

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Valine

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

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Sodium Aspartate

Amino acid buffer and humectant; adjusts pH and aids conditioning in hair care.

Lysine Hcl

Lysine HCl, amino acid for hair and skin conditioning, reduces protein loss

Histidine Hcl

Amino acid salt for pH buffering and hair conditioning; gentle buffering system, potential sensitization at high concentrations.

Disodium Inosinate

Nucleotide humectant for skin barrier and hair shine; synergistic with disodium guanylate.

Disodium Guanylate

Nucleotide humectant for hydration; often paired with inosinate in anti-aging formulations.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Pueraria Lobata Root Extract

Kudzu root extract as humectant; contains isoflavones, limit dose due to endocrine activity.

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract

Chamomile extract used for soothing; check for potential sensitizing allergens.

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

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

Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract

Centaurea flower extract with flavonoids; astringent and conditioning, mild risk at high levels.

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

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

Hypericum Perforatum Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

St. John's Wort extract. Highly photosensitizing due to hypericins. Strictly for night use or opaque packaging; avoid sun exposure.

Tilia Cordata Flower Extract

European linden flower extract with flavonoids and coumarins; soothing and moisturizing; often used as auxiliary conditioning agent.

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Xanthan Gum

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate

Polyglyceryl ester for mild emollient/emulsifying; long-chain structure for rich feel.

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.

Ethylhexylglycerin
