Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Propylheptyl Caprylate
- Light ester for smooth, non-volatile feel; non-comedogenic and low irritation
- Polyglyceryl-3 Rice Branate
- Plant-derived non-ionic emulsifier from rice bran, gentle, suitable for sensitive skin formulations, typically 1-5%.
- Oryza Sativa Starch
- Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- C10-18 Triglycerides
- Mixture of C10-18 triglycerides for emolliency, conditioning, and solvency; low comedogenic risk but occlusive.
- Hexyldecanol
- Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation
- Hexyldecyl Laurate
- Hexyldeyl laurate, light emollient ester; low comedogenicity.
- Lindera Strychnifolia Root Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Pearl
- Hydrolyzed pearl source of amino acids and minerals; humectant and skin conditioner for repair claims.
- Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract
- Perilla leaf extract containing perillal, providing fragrance and mild soothing effects.
- Saccharomyces Lysate Extract
- Yeast lysate humectant and conditioner; rich in amino acids and NMF, strong barrier repair
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Silanetriol
- Basic silanetriol for hair anti-static and smoothness; must be complexed with polymers for stability
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Pectin
- Natural polysaccharide binder/stabilizer for gels; incompatible with cationics
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- O-Cymen-5-Ol
- Antioxidant and antimicrobial; low levels for preservation; irritating at high concentrations, restricted use.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
