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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Alcohol

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Panthenol

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

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract

Honeysuckle extract for soothing; requires antimicrobial protection.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Forsythia Suspensa Fruit Extract

Forsythia fruit extract with antioxidant activity; low irritation

Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract

Plant leaf extract containing essential oils for skin conditioning and soothing; dilute concentrated extracts to avoid irritation.

Thuja Orientalis Extract

Thuja orientalis extract with antimicrobial, astringent, and humectant properties; low irritation at standard use

Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract

Pine leaf extract with antioxidant polyphenols; claimed antimicrobial and antioxidant; plant-based, watch for individual allergies.

Bambusa Vulgaris Extract

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Dimethicone

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Xanthan Gum

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

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

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
