Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- PEG-Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides
- Hydrog coco glycerides; waxy emollient; low irrit, low-mid comed, occlusive option
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Sodium Polyacrylate Starch
- Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Isoceteth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Phenoxyethanol
