Formulation view Water and propylene glycol base, with panthenol/glycerin for moisture and silicones for slip. Ceramide NP, glycosphingolipids, and lecithin strengthen barrier repair; hyaluronic acid hydrates. Acrylates crosspolymer thickens; multiple preservatives ensure stability. Formulator note: Rich lipid mimics create a barrier-like structure, suitable for long-term use on damaged/dry skin.

Ingredients explained

Water/Eau

Water as base solvent; no irritation, but requires preservatives to prevent microbial growth.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer

Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Tri-C14-15 Alkyl Citrate

Not decoded yet

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

C8/C10 glycerides, light emollient/emulsifier 0-20%; low comedogenic risk, light texture.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glycosphingolipids

Lipids mimicking sebum to repair skin barrier and reduce TEWL. Biological origin, low irritancy.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Canola Oil/Huile De Colza

Vegetable oil, high in Omega-6, base emollient with moderate stability

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside

Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.

C14-22 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

PEG-32

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine

Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, bio-mimetic emulsifier; gentle emulsifier and skin conditioner, suitable for liposomal systems.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
