Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Butyrospermum Parkii

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

Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil

Babassu/baobab seed oil, emollient; high oleic/palmitic, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants, store in dark.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Dimethicone

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Jojoba esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Erythritol

Polyol humectant with light feel; high hygroscopy, watch in dry climates.

Glyceryl behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax

Plant wax for emollience and film formation; blend with other waxes for melting point.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax

Sunflower seed wax for thickness/filming; waxy texture, potential comedogenic at high levels.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Myristyl Malate Phosphonic Acid

Not decoded yet

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Magnesium aspartate

Magnesium aspartate; water-soluble chelant/conditioner. Use at 1-2%; check chelation efficiency.

Bacillus Ferment

Bacillus ferment extract; skin conditioner with peptides; verify sterile specs and endotoxin levels

Homarine HCL

Not decoded yet

Copper gluconate

Copper gluconate; trace antioxidant/repair agent. Use <0.05%; high levels cause color change/irritation.

PEG-75 STEARATE

PEG-75 stearate, non-ionic emulsifier/thickener; PEG-based, check for 1,4-dioxane limits, not used in some markets.

Zinc Gluconate

Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Sorbitan laurate

O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.

Caprylhydroxamic acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Sodium levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Polyglycerin-3

Not decoded yet

Sodium anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

Glyceryl caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Disodium EDTA

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

BHT

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

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.
