Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Glycerin

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

Sodium Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-1

Not decoded yet

Acetylated Glycol Stearate

Oil emulsifier/stabilizer and emollient at 0.5–5%; provides silky feel and enhances emulsion stability.

Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Dimethicone

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

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Hypnea Musciformis Extract

Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Laminaria Saccharina Extract

Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination

Gelidiella Acerosa Extract

Gelidiella acerosa (seaweed) extract; complex matrix, screen for heavy metals

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

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

Centaurium Erythraea Extract

Not decoded yet

Yeast Extract\Faex\Extrait De Levure

Yeast ferment filtrate rich in amino acids and peptides; used for repair and moisture, may cause sensitivity in some.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Ceramide 3

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate

Stable Vitamin C derivative; water-soluble antioxidant and brightener, solubility pH-dependent

Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness

Alcaligenes Polysaccharides

Bacterial polysaccharide; humectant and emulsion stabilizer; bio-based, low sensitization; verify batch consistency

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Rhodochrosite

Not decoded yet

Beeswax\Cera Alba\Cire D'Abeille

Not decoded yet

Diamond Powder

Diamond powder as abrasive; high hardness, check particle uniformity

Laureth-9

Not decoded yet

Laureth-23

Not decoded yet

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Silica Silylate

Silylate silica for anticaking, defoaming, emulsion stabilization, film-forming; improves powder flow/texture

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Calcium Chloride

Cross-linker and viscosity controller for gels; astringent at high levels, check skin tolerance

Sodium Sulfate

Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.

Potassium Nitrate

Oral care agent for whitening/desensitization; oxidizing, avoid reducing agents/phenols.

Potassium Phosphate

pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

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.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
