Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract*

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Oryza Sativa Starch

Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry

Propanediol Dicaprylate

Lightweight ester emollient; gives silky feel, acts as solvent

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier; mild, PEG-free, good compatibility for cream systems.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Undecane

Undecane; light aliphatic hydrocarbon emollient; high volatility, pair with occlusives, flammable

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Tridecane

Tridecane, a long-chain alkane acting as emollient and solvent; petrochemical-derived, inert and low toxicity.

Bentonite

Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches

Lauroyl Lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Sclerotium Gum

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax

Beeswax-derived emulsifier, mild and biodegradable; offers emollience for sensitive formulations

Xanthan Gum

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

Methylpropanediol

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

Iris Florentina Root Extract

Orris root extract, traditional fixative/tonic; contains volatile essentials, check allergen compatibility.

Olive Oil Decyl Esters

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Withania Somnifera Root Extract*

Not decoded yet

Citric Acid

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

Hydrated Silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Crithmum Maritimum Extract

Sea fennel extract with ocean peptides for repair and antioxidant; water-soluble, used at low concentrations as active support.

Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract

Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Zinc Sulfate

Antimicrobial and astringent, restricted in oral care; <1% topical, metallic taste, avoid mixing with amino acids

Michelia Alba Leaf Oil

Fragrance oil from Michelia leaves; rich in linalool; classify as allergen source, keep low ppm

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

Ylang-ylang essential oil, natural fragrance; contains multiple allergens, restrict usage per EU regulations, avoid for sensitive skin

Lactic Acid

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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