Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Butylene Glycol

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

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Hydrogenated Palm Oil

Emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity regulator; provides waxy structure, high levels may feel heavy.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil

Crambe abyssinica seed oil for hair/skin; oleic-rich, high oleic ratio may be comedogenic

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter

Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline

Lipid peptide for skin conditioning; mimics ceramide function for barrier repair, prone to crystallization

Glyceryl Stearate SE

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

Glycerin

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

Batyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Tocopherol

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

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Tocotrienols

Vitamin E isomer; potent antioxidant for lipid protection and UV synergy, light and heat sensitive.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Glucosyl Hesperidin

Flavonoid glycoside, antioxidant, improves circulation, non-irritating.

Pyridoxine Hcl

Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Arachis Hypogaea Oil

Peanut oil, occlusive emollient; **EU restricted allergen**, contraindicated for those with allergies, moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

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

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine

Amino acid-based humectant with moisture-binding properties; low irritancy, improves skin feel and hydration.

Peucedanum Ostruthium Leaf Extract

Peucedanum leaf extract for skin conditioning; contains coumarins, assess phototoxicity risk

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Elaeis Guineensis Oil

Palm oil, emollient occlusive; saturated fats, moderate comedogenic risk.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Olea Europaea Leaf Extract

Olive leaf extract with hydroxytyrosol; antioxidant and polyphenolic; mild fragrance and skin conditioning.

Sodium Polygamma-Glutamate

Hygromectant and chelator that boosts gel viscosity; biocompatible with low allergenic potential.

Placental Protein

Animal-derived protein; restricted under EU cosmetic regulations, verify non-animal or substitute compliance

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Pyrus Malus Fruit Water

Apple water, hydration and mild conditioning; 5–20% typical, 26 allergens included

Soluble Collagen

Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Palmitoyl oligopeptide for firming; water-soluble bioactive peptide, avoid high heat, functional additive.

Citric Acid

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

Human Oligopeptide-1

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers
