Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride

Blended triglycerides providing slip and occlusion; mix of fatty acids, verify specific ratios to assess comedogenicity.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Phellinus Linteus Extract

Phellinus linteus polysaccharide at 0.1–0.5% in water phase; boosts hydration, low allergenicity

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Ceramide 3

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

Beta-Glucan

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

Dimethicone

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

Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract

Evening primrose flower extract acting as an astringent; generally safe at standard formulation levels.

Camellia Japonica Flower Extract

Camellia extract for skin emollience; typically a minor conditioning ingredient.

Sambucus Nigra Fruit Extract

Elderberry extract, astringent <5%; anthocyanins, light-sensitive

Rubus Fruticosus Fruit Extract

Astringent and antioxidant extract; contains acids, may cause mild irritation

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract

Tannin-rich botanical extract as astringent; typically <1%, potential drying or sensitization, avoid high stacking.

Arlacel 60

Not decoded yet

Sucrose Cocoate

Non-ionic surfactant, gentle emulsifier, plant-derived, low comedogenic.

C14-22 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Xantham Gum

Natural thickener and stabilizer; gel former, watch compatibility with electrolytes to prevent clarification loss

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Decylene Glycol

Multi-functional thickener and preservative booster, 0.1–0.5%; low viscosity, good compatibility

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside

Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Glycine Soja Sterols

Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Laureth-23

Not decoded yet

Totarol

Natural phenolic antioxidant and deodorant; low concentration, odor may be noticeable.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Adenosine

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

Edetate Disodium

Chelator to enhance formula stability and prevent metal ion effects.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Peg-10 Rapeseed Sterol

Rapeseed sterol PEG-10 ether as mild emulsifier/cleanser for foaming formulas; screen rapeseed-allergy history.

Tween 60

Not decoded yet

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Trideceth-6

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
