Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Mineral Oil

Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.

Butylene Glycol

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

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Piperidinepropionic acid

Not decoded yet

Diisostearyl malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Myristyl Myristate

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetrabehenate/Benzoate/Ethylhexanoate

Not decoded yet

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Batyl alcohol

Squalane, non-pungent emollient 0-5%; low irritation, suits dry/sensitive skin, emulsion stabilizer.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Microcrystalline Wax

Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic

Beheneth-20

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Dimethylacrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Crosspolymer

Acrylate crosspolymer, high-efficiency thickener and suspending agent; non-ionic, compatible with most actives, gel strength depends on crosslinking

Paraffin

Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Sorbitan tristearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for lotions; pairs with water-soluble surfactants.

Sodium methyl stearoyl taurate

Mild anionic surfactant, easy to rinse, low irritation; often blended for foam stability in gentle cleansers

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

PEG/PPG-17/4 DIMETHYL ETHER

PEG/PPG polymer humectant; high levels may cause tackiness, balance with other agents

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Xanthan Gum

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

Trisodium EDTA

Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Linalool

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium metaphosphate

Sodium metaphosphate; buffer and chelating agent; good water solubility, strongly alkaline, precise dosing required

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Alcohol

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Stable Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant protection; pH control needed for high doses.

Alpha-isomethyl ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Citronellol

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

Geraniol

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

Benzyl Benzoate

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

Prunus Speciosa Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract

Herbal extract with flavonoids; skin conditioning agent, low photosensitization risk, potential irritation at high concentrations.

Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract

Astringent and soothing claims; used in toners/cleansers; monitor for plant protein allergies.

Isodonis Japonicus Leaf/stalk Extract

Plant extract for soothing & fragrance; essential oil component, requires fragrance labeling.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Tocopherol

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