Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- "1,2-Hexanediol"
- Not decoded yet
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Papain
- Protease for mild exfoliation; concentration must be controlled to avoid irritation.
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Algin
- Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- N-Hydroxysuccinimide
- Chemical auxiliary for forming acyl ester bonds; usually not retained in final product, control residual levels during synthesis.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
