Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Methylpropanediol

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Polyglycerin-3

Not decoded yet

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Octyldodeceth-16

Not decoded yet

Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract

Tomato extract; antioxidant and conditioner. Contains carotenoids; moderate photostability. Watch for color variance.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.

Tocopherol

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

Lecithin

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

Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil

Plant seed oil with antioxidants; may have natural fragrance, low photosensitizing potential

Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract

Carrot root extract with carotenoids; skin conditioning, low photosensitivity, may stain.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract

Coccinia indica fruit extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritation.

Eclipta Prostrata Extract

Eclipta prostrata extract used for antioxidant and hair coloring; water-soluble, low irritation and comedogenic risk at typical levels.

Avena Sativa Kernel Extract

Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas

Cynara Scolymus Leaf Extract

Artichoke leaf extract for skin conditioning; often in botanical blends.

Brassica Oleracea Capitata Leaf Extract

Cabbage leaf extract for skin conditioning; fresh material browning, freeze-dried powder more stable

Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract

Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining

Brassica Rapa Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Capsicum Annuum Fruit Extract

Capsicum extract with capsaicinoids that increase microcirculation; high levels are strongly irritating.

Cichorium Intybus Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water

Green tea leaf water containing polyphenols; offers soothing, astringent, and antioxidant effects, often a base for toners.

Pteris Multifida Extract

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract

Eclipta prostrata leaf extract; polyphenols, 0.1–1%; antioxidant and soothing, stable in water, batch color variability

Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.

Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract

Holy basil leaf extract for conditioning; complex botanical, patch test recommended for compatibility

Corallina Officinalis Extract

Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.

Xanthan Gum

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

Canola Oil

Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Menadione

Vitamin K; low-level coagulant and skin conditioner, labeled as fragrance may be mislabeling or stabilizer, confirm actual use

Polyglyceryl-10 Diisostearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for lotions; low irritancy, no strong sensitization data, concentration depends on formula, suitable for sensitive skin formulas.

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.

Polyquaternium-51

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Butylene Glycol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Signal peptide promoting collagen synthesis; effective at low concentration, needs penetration enhancers or encapsulation

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Solanum Tuberosum Pulp Extract

Potato flesh extract used at low levels for skin smoothing and conditioning.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Alcohol

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
