Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Tribehenin PEG-20 Esters

Non-ionic emulsifier and conditioner with cleansing properties; contains PEG derivative, check compatibility

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Tridecyl Trimellitate

Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

C12-15 Alkyl Octanoate

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glycerin

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

Hexapeptide-10

Not decoded yet

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Silybum Marianum Extract

Silybum marianum extract containing silymarin, used for skin conditioning and antioxidant

Magnolia Grandiflora Bark Extract

Contains magnolol; antimicrobial and antioxidant; used in scalp/body care; watch concentration

Sigesbeckia Orientalis Extract

Botanical skin conditioning and tonic agent; often used for antioxidant and repair benefits

Gelidiella Acerosa Extract

Gelidiella acerosa (seaweed) extract; complex matrix, screen for heavy metals

Hypnea Musciformis Extract

Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens

Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Oil

Plant seed oil for skin conditioning; rich in fatty acids, prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants.

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Water

Chamomile water with soothing and anti-inflammatory effects; contains trace oils, may sensitize ragweed-allergic individuals.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water

Bitter orange flower water offering floral fragrance and mild conditioning.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

PEG-4 Diheptanoate

Nonionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W systems; gentle, low irritancy

Sucrose Distearate

Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Olive Oil Decyl Esters

Not decoded yet

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Water-soluble film former for matte feel; often used in emulsion form

Methicone

Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits

Ceteareth-20

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.

Squalene

Squalene, lightweight emollient, easily absorbed; animal sources restricted, plant sources preferred

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

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%.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
