Ingredients explained

Water

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

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Glycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Methyl Gluceth-20

Not decoded yet

C12-16 Alcohols

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Palmitic Acid

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Xanthan Gum

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

Trehalose

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

Coptis Japonica Extract

Coptis japonica root extract with berberine for sebum control and antimicrobial action; limit concentration to avoid sensitization.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Panthenol

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

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Adenosine

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

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Undaria Pinnatifida Extract

Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade

Theobroma Cacao Extract

Cacao extract providing antioxidants and conditioning, aids skin elasticity.

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Ocimum Basilicum Oil

Essential oil for fragrance and tonic; contains allergens, use caution on sensitive skin.

Jania Rubens Extract

Jania rubens extract with polysaccharides; moisturizing skin conditioner, check algal batch stability.

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

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

Disodium EDTA

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