Ingredients explained

Snail Secretion Filtrate

Snail secretion filtrate with moisturizing and repairing peptides; animal-derived, monitor purity and allergy risk

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Glycerin

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

Methyl Gluceth-20

Not decoded yet

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Trehalose

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Adenosine

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract

Lotus flower extract for skin conditioning; no specific irritancy or comedogenic data, generally safe at standard use.

Phosphatidylcholine

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

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract

Tannin-rich botanical extract as astringent; typically <1%, potential drying or sensitization, avoid high stacking.

Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract

Raspberry fruit extract with astringent and keratolytic properties; exfoliating, may irritate at high levels

Prunus Serotina Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract

Cornelian cherry fruit extract, flavonoid-rich; low-level emollient; verify allergenicity

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Copper Tripeptide-1

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) for repair/anti-aging at 0.01–0.1%; water-soluble, avoid chelators.

Ceramide NP

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

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.

Serine

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

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

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.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
