Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Lactobionic Acid
- Polyhydroxy acid for pH buffering; gentle, check stability at high levels
- Mandelic Acid
- Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
- Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.
- Natto Gum
- Natto gum, film-forming; 0.1–0.5% typical, low irritation, low sensitization
- Avena Sativa Germ Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment
- Yeast ferment extract with polysaccharides; used for multifunctional effects, complex profile may sensitise.
- 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.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- 4-T-Butylcyclohexanol
- Fixative and scent masker; not a primary skin conditioning agent.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Zinc Pca
- Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Cladosiphon Novae-Caledoniae Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Pearl Powder
- Ground pearl powder used for pigmentation or opacification; ensure fineness and purity.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Sodium Polyacrylate Starch
- Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.
- O-Cymen-5-Ol
- Antioxidant and antimicrobial; low levels for preservation; irritating at high concentrations, restricted use.
- Totarol
- Natural phenolic antioxidant and deodorant; low concentration, odor may be noticeable.
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
