Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Dialkylester Ammonium Methosulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine, cationic surfactant, antistatic; precipitates with anionics.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Apple cider vinegar extract; helps balance skin pH; must be used at low concentrations to avoid irritation.
- Oryza Sativa Extract
- Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Trilaureth-4 Phosphate
- Mild surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; low irritation profile.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
