Ingredients explained
- Avène Thermal Spring Water
- Not decoded yet
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Cetearyl Isononanoate
- Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil
- Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Bis-PEG-12 Dimethicone Beeswax
- PEG-modified silicone/beeswax ester for conditioning; contains PEG and animal-derived wax.
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Cetyl Esters
- Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- Arachidyl Alcohol
- Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams
- Arachidyl Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Beta-Sitosterol
- Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Glycine Soja Seed Extract
- Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- PEG-32
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-400
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Tocopheryl Glucoside
- Water-soluble tocopherol glycoside; antioxidant and skin conditioner. Reduces lipid oxidation, low irritation.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
