Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Ethylhexyl salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Styrene/acrylates copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Dipropylene glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Diisopropyl sebacate
- Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel
- Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract
- Quinoa seed extract, protein/polypeptide conditioner; water-soluble, check charge interactions with actives.
- PEG-20
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-8 Laurate
- PEG-8 laurate, non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing aid; good solubilization, note PEGs may increase formula permeation.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Sodium carrageenan
- Seaweed-derived thickener and stabilizer, 0.5-1.5% adjusts viscosity; sensitive to ions, test compatibility with cationic surfactants.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Sodium phosphate
- Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritating
- Maris sal
- Natural mineral skin conditioner for exfoliation or soothing; high concentrations (>5%) may cause dryness due to osmotic pressure.
- Inulin Lauryl Carbamate
- Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Amino acid-based mild cleanser with fine foam; water-soluble.
- Thermus Thermophillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent
- Spirulina Platensis Extract
- Spirulina platensis extract; rich in phycocyanin; skin protector; dark color requires color management
- Vitreoscilla Ferment
- Vitroscilla ferment, natural humectant; microbe-derived, aseptic process, low allergen risk
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Menthoxypropanediol
- Menthol derivative; cooling agent for immediate freshness; concentration control to avoid irritation.
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- t-Butyl alcohol
- Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
