Ingredients explained

Bifida Ferment Lysate

Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Glycerin

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Dimethicone

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Shea Butter

Natural butter providing emollient and occlusive moisturizing; used as emollient and emulsifier.

C12-16 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.

Carrot Extract

Carrot extract, beta-carotene source for color/antioxidant; oil-soluble, needs emulsification, color unstable

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Stearyl Alcohol

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

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Palmitic Acid

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Mango Seed Butter

Mango seed butter, a soft lipid with body-temperature melting point; provides smooth slip, moderate comedogenic rating.

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids for nourishment and repair; heavy texture.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Hydroxyethylcellulose

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

SH-Polypeptide-1

Not decoded yet

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

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

SH-Oligopeptide-1

Synthetic short oligopeptide for skin conditioning; generally low irritancy and comedogenicity

SH-Oligopeptide-2

Not decoded yet

Ceramide NP

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

Astaxanthin

Potent lipophilic antioxidant from algae; effective at trace levels (0.001-0.01%), prone to photodegradation, requires encapsulation or protection.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether

Ethyl ascorbyl ether antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid, minimal irritation at low concentrations.

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.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Cholesterol

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

Deoxyphytantriyl Palmitamide Mea

Not decoded yet

Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate

Polyglyceryl ester emulsifier; mild, non-ionic, suitable for O/W emulsions with good stability.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Erythritol

Polyol humectant with light feel; high hygroscopy, watch in dry climates.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Polysorbate 80

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Illicium Verum Fruit Extract

Star anise extract with anethole; fragrant and conditioning, allergen present, high levels risk sensitivity.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.
