Ingredients explained

Retinopeptide

Not decoded yet

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Glycerin

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

Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil

Mineral oil, occlusive emollient. Inert and stable; potential for comedogenicity, caution for oily/acne skin.

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Shorea Robusta Butter/Shorea Robusta Seed Butter

Not decoded yet

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Cera Alba/Beeswax

Beeswax, a natural wax providing occlusion and structure, common in balms and creams.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-20 Stearate

PEG-20 stearate emulsifier/cleanser, 0.5–2%; PEG-class potential allergen/dioxane residue risk.

Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer

Polyacrylamide-based thickener with strong emulsion stabilizing power; strict control of residual monomer levels is required.

Stearyl Alcohol

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Glycine Soja Protein/Soybean Protein

Soybean protein for moisturizing; contains allergens, use caution in sensitive skin

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Acrylonitrile/Methyl Methacrylate/Vinylidene Chloride Copolymer

Acrylate polymer for film/suspension; chlorinated components, stability check.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Acetyl Trifluoromethylphenyl Valylglycine

Peptide active for collagen support; requires aqueous stability, use cold-process

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.

Chlorhexidine Digluconate

Antimicrobial agent often in oral care or antiseptics; residual odor noted; long-term use may cause resistance or sensitivity.

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Isobutane

Propellant for aerosol products, flammable; store and transport away from fire sources

Phenethyl Alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Myristyl Alcohol

Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.

Tocopherol

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

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.
