Ingredients explained
- Water/Eau
- Water as base solvent; no irritation, but requires preservatives to prevent microbial growth.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Bis-PEG/PPG-16/16 PEG/PPG-16/16 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone emulsifier/surfactant for silky feel and oil emulsification; contains PEG/PPG, caution for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate
- Sodium polystyrene sulfonate, water-soluble polymer for thickening and emulsion stability; ion-tolerant
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Sorghum Bicolor Leaf/Stem Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Pectin
- Natural polysaccharide binder/stabilizer for gels; incompatible with cationics
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Sucrose
- Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Capryloyl Glycine
- Functional surfactant with seborrhea-control properties; suited for oily or acne-prone skin.
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
- Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage
- Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil
- Botanical essential oil for fragrance; contains allergenic constituents, sensitive to reactive skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Malic Acid
- AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity
- Tartaric Acid
- Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- 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.
