Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate
- Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
- Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract
- Watermelon extract; L-citrulline/sugar; low-conc humectant, mild, no pub comed data
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Hydroxyethyl Urea
- Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Potassium Chloride
- Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.
- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
- Trideceth-9
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Ammonium Lactate
- Buffering, humectant, and keratolytic agent; pH adjustor, dosage based on buffering needs.
- Cetrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use
- Cetylpyridinium Chloride
- Antimicrobial, 0.01-0.5%; avoid anionic surfactants
- Ethanolamine
- pH adjuster; restricted in cosmetics, potential sensitizer and irritant.
- Benzophenone-4
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
