Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil

Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Myristyl Myristate

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Tricaprylin

Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Glucose Glutamate

Not decoded yet

Prunus Armeniaca Fruit Extract

Fruit extract rich in vitamins and enzymes for skin conditioning; prone to discoloration at high pH, add antioxidants

Prunus Persica Fruit Extract

Peach fruit extract with fruit acids and fibers; used as mild physical exfoliant and moisturizer

Algin

Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends

Xanthan Gum

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

Dehydroxanthan Gum

Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Lysolecithin

Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Tocopherol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

Silica

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