Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Glyceryl Polymethacrylate
- Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.
- Paeonia Lactiflora Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Lens Esculenta Fruit Extract
- Lentil extract; protein/sugar; low-conc conditioning, mild, no pub data
- Escin
- Horse chestnut extract for venous circulation and anti-inflammatory; caution near eyes; potential plant-based allergen
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sucrose Palmitate
- Succrose ester for gentle emulsification/cleansing; biodegradable, low comedogenicity.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glyceryl Linoleate
- Glyceryl linoleate; emulsifier and emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTAs; binds metal ions to prevent oxidation; biodegradable and low irritancy.
- Aspartic Acid
- Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
- Fumaric Acid
- Dicarboxylic acid buffer; paired with sodium bicarbonate for pH control, < 0.5%.
- Maleic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Malic Acid
- AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide
- Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.
- Ci 77491/Iron Oxides
- Iron oxide yellow, inorganic pigment for coloration; high coverage, inert and safe for sensitive skin
