Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Moringa Oil/Hydrogenated Moringa Oil Esters
- SKIN CONDITIONING
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- Camellia Kissi Seed Oil
- Camellia kissi seed oil; unsaturated fatty acids for emollience and conditioning; low comedogenic, suits dry skin
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Octyldodecyl Myristate
- Lightweight ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; acts as an emollient.
- Diisostearyl Dimer Dilinoleate
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.
- Pentaerythrityl Stearate/Caprate/Caprylate/Adipate
- Multiester providing smooth emollience and oil balance; functions as emollient and co-emulsifier
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Cananga Odorata Flower Extract
- Ylang-ylang extract; contains sensitizers; restricted by EU App III/347, manage allergens.
- Zingiber Officinale Root Extract
- Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Sodium Carbomer
- Carbomer sodium, strong gelling agent; requires neutralization, high thickening power, may interact with cationic actives.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Isostearyl Alcohol
- Non-ionic emulsifier and thickener providing body; at 2-5% enhances emulsion stability.
- Polyglycerin-3
- Not decoded yet
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Polyquaternium-51
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Phytic Acid
- Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
