Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dicaprylyl Ether
- Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter
- Shea butter, occlusive emollient for dry skin and hair; high in lipids, caution for oily skin
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; mild, PEG-free, good compatibility for cream systems.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil/Apricot Kernel Oil
- Apricot Kernel Oil, plant emollient; light, absorbs well, suits sensitive skin, add antioxidants due to oxidation risk
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide
- Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
- Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ci 77491/Iron Oxides
- Iron oxide yellow, inorganic pigment for coloration; high coverage, inert and safe for sensitive skin
- Polyglyceryl- 3 Beeswax
- Not decoded yet
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Ci 77163/Bismuth Oxychloride
- Bismuth oxychloride, a pearlescent powder for cosmetics and skincare gloss; high concentrations may deposit around the eyes.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract
- Cherry blossom extract, 0.1-1% typical; low-irritation, patch-test for pollen/plant-allergy prone skin
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
