Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Coco-caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- 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
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Leontopodium Alpinum Extract
- Edelweiss extract; flavonoid-rich skin conditioner; scarce raw material, high cost, verify batch consistency
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Artemisia Umbelliformis Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Malva sylvestris
- Not decoded yet
- Marrubium Vulgare Extract
- Saponarin-rich extract for soothing and hydration; typical in photoprotection or sensitive skin formulas
- Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract
- Plant extract for soothing and toning; high levels of crude extracts may sensitize.
- Ascorbic Acid
- Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Nicotiana Sylvestris Leaf Cell Culture
- Tobacco cell culture with plant proteins; no traditional allergenic risk, monitor batch consistency
