Ingredients explained
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glyceryl Polymethacrylate
- Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Matricaria Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Hypnea Musciformis Extract
- Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens
- Gelidiella Acerosa Extract
- Gelidiella acerosa (seaweed) extract; complex matrix, screen for heavy metals
- Sargassum Filipendula Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan
- Not decoded yet
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Lysine
- Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.
- Glutamic Acid
- Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Saccharomyces Lysate Extract
- Yeast lysate humectant and conditioner; rich in amino acids and NMF, strong barrier repair
- Bitter Orange Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Geranium Maculatum Oil
- Botanical essential oil for fragrance and toning; contains allergens, caution for sensitive skin.
- Lavender Oil
- Lavender essential oil for fragrance; high allergen rate, concentration control needed.
- PPG-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
