Ingredients explained

Inonotus Obliquus Extract

Inonotus obliquus extract for skin conditioning; limited functional data

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Glycerin

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

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Triethylhexanoin

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

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

C12-16 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.

Caramel

Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Pentylene Glycol

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

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Potassium Hydroxide

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

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Butylene Glycol

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

Adenosine

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

Polysorbate 20

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

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Disodium EDTA

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

Sparassis Crispa Extract

Sparassis Crispa extract; polysaccharide-rich for humectancy and conditioning. Monitor microbial load; high levels may feel sticky on sensitive skin.

Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment

Yeast ferment extract with polysaccharides; used for multifunctional effects, complex profile may sensitise.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

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

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Alteromonas Ferment Extract

Ferment filtrate with peptides/polysaccharides; skin conditioning, 1–3% typical; check preservative system.

Triethyl Citrate

Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent

Methyldihydrojasmonate

Methyl dihydrojasmonate, jasmine accord; synthetic fragrance, potential allergen.

Juniperus Mexicana Oil

Mexican juniper essential oil for scent; high levels of essential oils are irritating.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Citronellol

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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