Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Betaine

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

Glycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate

Polyglyceryl-10 stearate emulsifier; multi-source, mild, co-emulsifier

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Polyurethane-15

Not decoded yet

Propanediol

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

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

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Adenosine

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

Lactobacillus/Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate

Ginseng ferment filtrate with peptides for repair; complex profile, requires stability testing.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Saccharomyces/Potato Extract Ferment Filtrate

Ferment filtrate with humectants and metabolites; complex bioactivity, start low for sensitive skin.

Saccharomyces/Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Ferment Filtrate

Ferment filtrate; skin conditioning, needs high microbial protection.

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract

Ferment extract with amino acids and peptides for skin conditioning; monitor microbial stability and watch for allergens.

Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment

Ferment filtrate; hydrating, requires preservative support.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Disodium EDTA

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

Calcium Titanium Borosilicate

Mineral abrasive and thickener for exfoliation; particle size should be moderate.

Cholesterol

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

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Theobroma Cacao Extract

Cacao extract providing antioxidants and conditioning, aids skin elasticity.

Aquilaria Agallocha Extract

Agarwood extract, traditional for aroma and soothing; low concentration, acts as fragrance or co-conditioner.

Gardenia Florida Flower Extract

Gardenia extract with iridoids for antioxidant and soothing effects; check photostability.

Tin Oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

Iron Oxide/Ci 77491

Not decoded yet

Yellow 5 Ci 19140

Not decoded yet

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Titanium Dioxide

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

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Citronellol

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

Geraniol

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

Linalool

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