Formulation view A water-based cream using shea and cactus seed oils for heavy occlusion, stabilized by sucrose esters. It combines vitamin C derivatives and hyaluronic acid for antioxidant and hydration benefits. The preservation system uses sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. The high lipid load suits dry skin in winter. Formulators should monitor pore-clogging potential during warmer months.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Sucrose Distearate
- Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions
- Sucrose Stearate
- Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.
- Ethyl Macadamiate
- Ethyl ester of macadamia oleic acid; lightweight skin conditioning; low comedogenicity
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil
- Prickly pear seed oil; rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid; emollient; oxidation-prone, store away from light
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Lactobacillus
- Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Laminaria Saccharina Extract
- Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination
- Potassium Thiocyanate
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Malic Acid
- AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity
- Lactoperoxidase
- Not decoded yet
- Glucose Oxidase
- Not decoded yet
