Ingredients explained

Water

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Glycerin

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

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

PEG-8

Not decoded yet

Polyacrylate-21

Not decoded yet

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Acrylates/Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Disodium EDTA

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

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Dihydroxy Methylchromone

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Polysorbate 20

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

Retinol

Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Palmitoyl oligopeptide for firming; water-soluble bioactive peptide, avoid high heat, functional additive.
