Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Trehalose

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Butylene Glycol

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

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Dimethicone

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

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Myristyl Alcohol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Bee Venom

Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract

Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.

Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract

Sophora root extract; matrine-rich with antimicrobial and anti-itch effects, used for skin conditioning.

Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Extract

Clove flower extract containing eugenol (allergen); astringent and antimicrobial properties; high concentrations may irritate oral mucosa.

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract

Extract with cooling scent and conditioning; contains essential oil, potential allergen, control dose

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Bambusa Vulgaris Extract

Bamboo extract for soothing and conditioning; polyphenol-rich, limit concentration to minimize irritation.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Rh-Oligopeptide-1

Not decoded yet

Lecithin

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

Tamarindus Indica Seed Polysaccharide

Natural film-forming humectant, 0.1–1%; thickener, prone to oxidation, keep away from light

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Bambusa Vulgaris Water

Bambusa vulgaris leaf water extract used primarily for skin conditioning

Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Water

Lotus flower water; botanical distillate for toning and minor nutrition; low irritancy, used as functional aqueous phase.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water

Aloe juice, humectant and fragrance; perishable, requires preservatives, prone to browning.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Decylene Glycol

Multi-functional thickener and preservative booster, 0.1–0.5%; low viscosity, good compatibility

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Totarol

Natural phenolic antioxidant and deodorant; low concentration, odor may be noticeable.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Saussurea Involucrata Extract
