Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Carica Papaya Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract for nourishment and antioxidant benefits; used as a low-concentration additive.
- Ananas Sativus Fruit Extract
- Pineapple extract with protease and Vit C; mild AHA exfoliant; may irritate at high levels, use caution.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Peg 100 Stearate
- Not decoded yet
- L-Ascorbic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Phytic Acid
- Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract
- Giant kelp extract; moisturizing polysaccharides; ocean theme, check for marine allergies.
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- 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
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract
- Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.
- Yeast Polysaccharides
- Yeast-derived polysaccharides (e.g., β-glucan) for film formation, humectancy and barrier repair; well-suited to post-procedure care.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Rna
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Citris Aurantium Dulcis Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Silk Amino Acids
- Silk amino acids for humectancy and hair/skin care; low molecular weight, easily absorbed
- Sodium Dna
- Water-soluble polymer for hydration and film feel; often claimed for repair support
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
