Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Oil

Classic occlusive emollient for dry/winter formulas; generally low comedogenicity.

Butylene Glycol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Heptyl Undecylenate

Heptyl undecylenate, light emollient ester; fresh feel, non-greasy, low comedogenic risk

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

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.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Canola Oil

Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.

Retinyl Retinoate

Not decoded yet

Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Tetrahydropiperine

Tetrahydropiperine for penetration enhancement and conditioning; potential irritancy risk

Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid

Bioactive marker in Evening Primrose Oil, antioxidant and soothing; used at low levels

Alcohol

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

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Sorbitan Palmitate

Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Soy Isoflavones

Soy isoflavones; phytoestrogen antioxidant; topically safe, high dose may affect endocrine.

Lecithin

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

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Citric Acid

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

Tocopherol

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Parfum

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