Ingredients explained

Aqua (Water

Primary solvent; requires preservatives at high concentration; adjust viscosity with thickeners

Eau)

Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Peg-12 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Myristyl Nicotinate

Nicotinate ester, vasodilator; high levels cause flushing, avoid mucosal contact.

Peg-8 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone offering slip and spreadability; helps disperse silicone ingredients, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Peg-8 Ricinoleate

Castor oil derivative, PEG-based surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-derived castor oil, PEG part requires monitoring in sensitive populations.

Peg-14M

Water-soluble PEG surfactant/emulsifier at 1-3%; avoid with strong oxidizers

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract

Albizia bark extract; natural fragrance and conditioner, scent may need masking

Hypnea Musciformis Extract

Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2

Matrixyl; stimulates ECM synthesis for firming/repair, requires adequate dosage.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract

Cell-culture apple extract for antioxidant skin conditioning

Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract

Camellia oleifera leaf extract containing tea polyphenols; acts as astringent and skin conditioner, monitor raw material consistency.

Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract

Silybum marianum fruit extract (milk thistle). Antioxidant. Contains alkaloids/terpenes; rare cross-allergenicity with grass/pollen families.

Tocopherol

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

Lecithin

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

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

Diisopropyl Sebacate

Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel

Biosaccharide Gum-4

Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Propanediol

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

Calcium Alginate

Natural polysaccharide used as thickener and gel base; usually food-grade, but listed as fragrance here, verify supply chain origin.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Citric Acid

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

Calcium Chloride

Cross-linker and viscosity controller for gels; astringent at high levels, check skin tolerance

Gellan Gum

Gellan gum; water-soluble polymer; gel former; high transparency, strong gelling, for aqueous phase stability.

Xanthan Gum

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Disodium Edta

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
