Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Butylene Glycol

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

Peg-100 Stearate

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

Dimethicone

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

Cetyl Ricinoleate

Plant-derived ester for emolliency and gloss; low irritancy and comedogenicity, suitable for dry skin.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Glycerin

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

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Panthenine, lipophilic vitamin B derivative convertible to pantothenic acid, used for hair and skin conditioning

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

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Myristyl Alcohol

Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Ascorbyl Tocopheryl Maleate

Vitamin C/E derivative with strong antioxidant activity; aqueous-unstable, requires light protection and cold storage, 0.1–1%.

Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone

Antioxidant that protects other actives from oxidative degradation, enhancing product shelf life and stability.

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Dipeptide-2

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
