Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Olus Oil

Squalane derivative or plant oil for emollience; specify exact source

Octyldodecyl Myristate

Lightweight ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; acts as an emollient.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Butylene Glycol

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

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate

Lightweight oil emulsifier providing non-greasy feel; dual function as emulsifier and emollient

Glucosyl Hesperidin

Flavonoid glycoside, antioxidant, improves circulation, non-irritating.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Melilotus Officinalis Extract

Not decoded yet

Helichrysum Stoechas Extract

Not decoded yet

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Beheneth-25

Not decoded yet

Panthenol

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Candelilla Cera Wax)

Natural wax for thickening and film formation; provides hardness and shine; use at 1-3%.

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Chlorphenesin

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Silanetriol

Basic silanetriol for hair anti-static and smoothness; must be complexed with polymers for stability

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth for oil absorption/opacification at 1–5%; high surface area, handle dust carefully.

Methylsilanol Mannuronate

Water-soluble silicone for anti-static and smoothness; chemically stable, no known allergenic data

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Sorbic Acid

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Lecithin

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Phenylpropanol

Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
