Formulation view An O/W cream with water as base, featuring a high load of ceramides, phytosphingosine, and cholesterol to mimic skin barrier lipids, plus squalane and plant oils for occlusion. Hyaluronic acid and amino acids provide moisture. Formulators observe a strong focus on barrier repair, making it ideal for dry, aging, or compromised skin. Oily types may find it heavy; lipid oxidation stability should be monitored.

Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua

Water as base solvent; no irritation, requires microbial control.

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Diglycerin

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

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.

Phytosteryl Macadamiate

Phytosteryl macadamiate for hair and skin care; good occlusion

Hydrogenated Rapeseed Alcohol

Not decoded yet

Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter

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

Limnanthes Alba

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Ceramide AG

Ceramide AP, repairs skin barrier and reduces water loss, low allergenicity

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Phytosphingosine

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

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract

Cell-culture apple extract for antioxidant skin conditioning

Glucosyl Hesperidin

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

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Serine

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

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Arginine

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

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Taurine

Taurine; buffering and chelating. Common in shampoos and eye washes, water-soluble.

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Sodium Aspartate

Amino acid buffer and humectant; adjusts pH and aids conditioning in hair care.

Lysine Hcl

Lysine HCl, amino acid for hair and skin conditioning, reduces protein loss

Histidine Hcl

Amino acid salt for pH buffering and hair conditioning; gentle buffering system, potential sensitization at high concentrations.

Disodium Inosinate

Nucleotide humectant for skin barrier and hair shine; synergistic with disodium guanylate.

Disodium Guanylate

Nucleotide humectant for hydration; often paired with inosinate in anti-aging formulations.

Allantoin

Punica Granatum Pericarp Extract

Pomegranate peel extract rich in polyphenols for skin conditioning; low irritancy at typical use concentrations.

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Butylene Glycol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum

Tamarind gum for emulsification & thickening; tacky at high levels

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate

Polyglyceryl ester for mild emollient/emulsifying; long-chain structure for rich feel.

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
