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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Butylene Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Ceratonia Siliqua Gum

Locust bean gum thickener/emulsifier; viscous at high levels, check batch consistency.

Chondrus Crispus Extract

Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive

Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

C8/C10 glycerides, light emollient/emulsifier 0-20%; low comedogenic risk, light texture.

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.

Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract

Microbial ferment for humectancy and skin conditioning; gentle.

Potassium Chloride

Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Ci 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Menthyl Pca

Menthol derivative for hydration and cool feel; low irritation, stinging at high levels

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Polyisobutene

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Water

Not decoded yet

Menthol

Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes

Polysorbate 20

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

Sorbitan Isostearate

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation

Citric Acid

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
