Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Butylene Glycol

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

Ethoxydiglycol

Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract

Tomato extract; antioxidant and conditioner. Contains carotenoids; moderate photostability. Watch for color variance.

Micrococcus Lysate

Micrococcus ferment lysate with peptides/metabolites; low concentration skin conditioner, ensure sterile process.

Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract

Arabidopsis thaliana extract, typically used as a plant-derived antioxidant or actives; research-grade ingredient; confirm stability in final formulation

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

Dipeptide skin conditioner for moisturizing and repair; low concentration, minimal irritation or comedogenic risk.

Diglucosyl Gallic Acid

Diglucosyl gallic acid from tea, hair antioxidant; water-soluble, gentle on scalp

Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract

Bilberry fruit extract with polyphenols for soothing and skin protection, low concentration

Quercus Suber Bark Extract

Not decoded yet

Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine, potent antioxidant; 0.01–0.1%, water-soluble, synergizes with Vit C/E.

Hyaluronic Acid

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

Tocopherol

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

Tricholoma Matsutake Extract

Matsutake extract with amino acids and polysaccharides for hydration and antioxidant care. Add in aqueous phase; watch heat sterilization impact on heat-sensitive polysaccharides.

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Lecithin

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

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
