Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Cetyl Esters
- Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.
- Glyceryl Dilaurate
- Gentle emulsifier and emollient, suitable for infant/sensitive products; alternative to classic emulsifiers.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Ananas Sativus Fruit Juice
