Ingredients explained

Water

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Glycerin

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Sodium Salicylate

Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Arginine

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Lavandula Angustifolia Extract

Lavender extract; regulating and calming. Contains linalool and other allergens, use with caution for sensitive skin.

Sciadopitys Verticillata Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract

Grape fruit extract; rich in polyphenols; skin conditioner; check compatibility with strong oxidizers

Propylene Glycol

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

Citric Acid

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

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Malic Acid

AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity

Tartaric Acid

Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Saccharum Officinarum Extract

Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data

Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract

Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Xanthan Gum

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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