Formulation view This cream uses a water-based matrix with gluconolactone and lactobionic acid for exfoliation. Siloxanes and Limnanthes Alba oil provide silky texture. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and chlorphenesin, plus sodium bisulfite for antioxidant stability. Suitable for dry or neutral skin as daily moisturizer. Factory view: Multi-acid systems require precise pH and emulsion stability control.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Lactobionic Acid

Polyhydroxy acid for pH buffering; gentle, check stability at high levels

Propylene Glycol

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

Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate

Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

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

Glycerin

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

Arginine

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

C12-15 Alkyl Ethylhexanoate

Blended ester emollient; dry-touch, non-greasy finish, non-comedogenic, ideal for oily skin.

Glycol Distearate

Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity

Octyldodecyl Myristate

Lightweight ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; acts as an emollient.

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Ethoxydiglycol

Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Phosphatidylcholine

Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Steareth-2

Not decoded yet

Caprylic/Capric Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride

Not decoded yet

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Xanthan Gum

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

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.

Sodium Bisulfite

Reducing agent and preservative in hair waving/straightening; irritating; restricted use

Phenoxyethanol

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

Chlorphenesin

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

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.

Red 33

FD&C Red 33 synthetic dye; verify metal impurities; monitor sensitive users.
