Formulation view Water, polyols, synthetic esters and plant oils build a moisturizing cream; dimethicone adds smoothness. Actives include sodium PCA, urea, allantoin, panthenol derivatives, tocopherol and ascorbic acid derivatives, focusing on nourishment and barrier care. Preserved with phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and diazolidinyl urea, a potential formaldehyde releaser. Suitable for dry eye area; sensitive skin should patch-test.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Dimethicone

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

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil

Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin

Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate

Cetearyl ester for emollience/stabilizing; light texture, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

PEG-8

Not decoded yet

Pca

Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.

Lactic Acid

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

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

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.

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.

Citric Acid

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Diazolidinyl Urea

Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users
