Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- 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
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.
- 1
- Not decoded yet
- 2-Hexanediol
- 2-Hexanediol; branched-chain diol solvent and co-preservative, mild odor, weak humectant.
- Vinyl Dimethicone
- Silicone viscosity modifier at 0.5–5%; provides smooth feel, non-comedogenic
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Enteromorpha Compressa Extract
- Compressed Ulva extract, skin protector; watch microbe/heavy-metal QC on algal extracts.
- Undaria Pinnatifida Extract
- Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for sensitive skin formulations
- Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract
- Artemisia Princeps leaf extract containing volatile components; potential irritant risk, limit usage and patch test for sensitive skin.
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Sea Water/Maris Aqua/Eau De Mer
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Rosa Damascena Flower Water
- Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.
- Punica Granatum Fruit Extract
- Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.
- Lepidium Meyenii Root Extract
- Andean plant extract with antioxidants; used as functional addition, very low conc.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Ceramide AS
- Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract
- Extract with cooling scent and conditioning; contains essential oil, potential allergen, control dose
- Ceramide AP
- Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Ceramide NS
- Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Madecassic Acid
- Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage
- Asiatic Acid
- Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.
- Phytosphingosine
- Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.
