Ingredients explained
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- 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.
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Oryzanol
- Rice-bran antioxidant for skin conditioning and sebum balance
- Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil
- Citrus essential oil; photosensitizing furanocoumarins present, limit daytime use; EU 26 allergen.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Jasminum Officinale Flower Extract
- Jasmine flower extract for fragrance and conditioning; contains allergens, restricted in leave-on products under EU regulations, label required.
- Lavandula Hybrida Flower Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
