Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Glycerin

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

Hyaluronic Acid

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

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Lens Esculenta Fruit Extract

Lentil extract; protein/sugar; low-conc conditioning, mild, no pub data

Ceratonia Siliqua Fruit Extract

Carob fruit extract, rich in polysaccharides for hydration and film; natural preservative potential requires efficacy verification

Tillandsia Usneoides Extract

Not decoded yet

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Biosaccharide Gum-1

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

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Arginine

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

Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract

Extract for color and conditioning; watch dark batches in clear systems

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Pvm/Ma Copolymer

Film former at 1–5%; for styling/hair care, provides lasting effect

Propanediol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Glycerin

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer

Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration

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.

Corthellus Shiitake Extract

Shiitake extract with skin-protecting properties; mild botanical active for soothing formulations

Inonotus Obliquus Extract

Inonotus obliquus extract for skin conditioning; limited functional data

Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract

Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Phellinus Linteus Extract

Phellinus linteus polysaccharide at 0.1–0.5% in water phase; boosts hydration, low allergenicity

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil

Babassu/baobab seed oil, emollient; high oleic/palmitic, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants, store in dark.

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.

Elaeis Guineensis Oil

Palm oil, emollient occlusive; saturated fats, moderate comedogenic risk.

Arginine

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

Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract

Extract for color and conditioning; watch dark batches in clear systems

Xanthan Gum

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

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

Propanediol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
