Ingredients explained

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Acanthopanax Senticosus Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

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

Betula Platyphylla Japonica Bark Extract

Botanical extract for antioxidant and calming effects. Usually at low, safe concentrations.

Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice

Birch juice NMF 0.5-5%; aqueous, check preservatives & sugars

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Chimaphila Umbellata Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Coptis Japonica Root Extract

Coptis root; contains berberine for antibacterial effects, high doses may sensitize, check stability.

Hydrolyzed collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Hydrolyzed Soybean Extract

Not decoded yet

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.

Maltose

Maltose humectant/skin conditioner; low sweetness, masking; monitor microbial growth.

Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract

Mint extract for cooling sensation; contains menthol, mild irritation potential.

Mucuna Birdwoodiana Stem Extract

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Signal peptide promoting collagen synthesis; effective at low concentration, needs penetration enhancers or encapsulation

Persea gratissima oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Santalum Album Wood Extract

Sandalwood extract; soothing conditioner with woody scent. Watch for batch variance and sensitization.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Alcohol

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

Algin

Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility

Behenyl Alcohol

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

BHT

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Disodium succinate

Ampholytic surfactant with fragrance function; low irritancy, stability considerations in blends.

Ethyl oleate

Light emollient ester, fast absorption for oily skin; may contain fragrance traces

Hydrogenated lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Oleyl Alcohol

Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.

Rice bran wax

Plant wax adding structure and shine; high levels can be occlusive, requires emulsifiers.

Paraffin

Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium methyl stearoyl taurate

Mild anionic surfactant, easy to rinse, low irritation; often blended for foam stability in gentle cleansers

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Sorbitan sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Stearoyl glutamic acid

Amino acid surfactant for gentle cleansing; antagonizes cationic surfactants, suitable for sensitive skin

Succinic acid

Dicarboxylic acid used as a buffer and natural metabolite; slight flavoring effect, low irritation

Trilaureth-4 phosphate

Mild surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; low irritation profile.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
