Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Kaolin

Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119

Bentonite

Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches

Propanediol

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

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Sulfur

Sebum-regulating and anti-seborrheic agent for acne; has distinct odor, low irritancy at standard levels but can be drying.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Oil

Thyme essential oil, potent antiseptic and tonic, high irritation and allergen risk.

Origanum Vulgare Leaf Oil

Not decoded yet

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

SKIN CONDITIONING

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Zinc Sulfate

Antimicrobial and astringent, restricted in oral care; <1% topical, metallic taste, avoid mixing with amino acids

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

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

Cinnamomum Camphora Bark Oil

Camphor bark oil containing camphor and linalool; strong scent, potential allergen, strict concentration control needed

Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract

Watermelon extract; L-citrulline/sugar; low-conc humectant, mild, no pub comed data

Genipa Americana Extract

Not decoded yet

Arginine

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

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Citric Acid

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

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Algin

Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility

Xanthan Gum

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

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Sodium Phytate

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

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Hydroxyacetophenone

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
