Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Niacinamide*
- Water-soluble Vitamin B3 derivative; repairs barrier at 2-5%, may cause sensitivity in some users.
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Panthenol**
- Panthenol, water-soluble humectant at 4-5% typical, well-absorbed and reduces irritation, widely used
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4***
- Signal peptide for firming; unstable in water, often encapsulated or in glycol mix.
- Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate^
- Not decoded yet
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract^^
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
- Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer
- Polyacrylamide-based thickener with strong emulsion stabilizing power; strict control of residual monomer levels is required.
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
