Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract
- Bamboo stem extract; low-concentration skin conditioner, no significant irritancy data.
- Ammonium Lactate*
- Not decoded yet
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Carbomer
- Carbomer sodium, strong gelling agent; requires neutralization, high thickening power, may interact with cationic actives.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Hydrolyzed Milk Protein
- Hydrolyzed milk protein, moisturizer; label for lactose/milk protein allergy
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil
- Sweet orange oil; fragrance/antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use at night or with SPF.
- Juniperus Mexicana Oil
- Mexican juniper essential oil for scent; high levels of essential oils are irritating.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Pelargonium Graveolens Oil
- Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
