Ingredients explained

Water

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

Butyloctyl Salicylate

Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products

Tridecyl Salicylate

Long-lasting emollient, low irritation; high usage or occlusive systems may be comedogenic, use caution for oily skin.

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

C30-38 Olefin/Isopropyl Maleate/Ma Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Diisopropyl Sebacate

Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel

Lauryl Lactate

Lauric lactate ester; mild emollient and emulsifier; suitable for all skin types, low allergenicity.

Rubus Idaeus Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Shea Butter Ethyl Esters

Shea-derived esters for smooth emolliency; more stable than raw shea butter.

Daucus Carota Sativa Extract

Carrot extract with carotenoids for tinting and conditioning; no specific contraindications.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Silica

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

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Bentonite

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Sodium Phytate

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Citric Acid

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

Avobenzone

Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Octisalate

Octyloleate, ester solvent and emollient; used in sunscreens or diluting oils, light texture

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
