Ingredients explained

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Glycerine

Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.

Butylene Glycol

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

Ethanol

Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract

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

Bacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract Filtrate

Not decoded yet

Wheat Amino Acids

Wheat amino acids for hair/skin; contains gluten, allergy caution

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Hydrolyzed Elastin

Hydrolyzed elastin, moisturizer; MW determines penetration, large MW surface conditioning.

Betaine

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

Trehalose

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

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

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

Natto Gum

Natto gum, film-forming; 0.1–0.5% typical, low irritation, low sensitization

Xanthan Gum

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

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

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Disodium EDTA

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

Spice
