Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Pentylene Glycol

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

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Glycerin

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

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Propylene Glycol

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

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 1

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers

Cecropia Obtusa Bark Extract

Not decoded yet

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract

Plant extract with polysaccharides and flavonoids; for firming and anti-irritation, < 1%.

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Coco- Glucoside

Not decoded yet

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Silica

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

BHT

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

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.
