Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Sodium Lauryl Glycol Carboxylate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Oryza Sativa Germ Oil
- Rice bran oil, moisturizing conditioning; 1–5% typical, low irritation, low comedogenicity
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Ethylcellulose
- Water-insoluble film former and viscosity builder for suspensions; requires dispersion or premixing.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
- Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract
- Peony root extract for moisture and conditioning; plant-derived, low allergenicity
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Silk Powder
- Silk powder for bulking and conditioning; provides smoothness and gloss, animal-derived.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
