Formulation view This product combines water with silicone and mineral oil for an occlusive layer, stabilized by emulsifiers. Actives include ginkgo, ginseng, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. Preservation uses phenoxyethanol, with acrylic polymers for thickening. Suited for nourishing care, the formulation balances spreadability and hydration through a hybrid silicone-aqueous design.

Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua

Water as base solvent; no irritation, requires microbial control.

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Mineral Oil

Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Diisostearyl Malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Glyceryl Diisostearate

Glyceryl diisostearate, emulsifier and emollient; low irritation, low comedogenic, smooth skin feel, used in premium formulas.

Myristyl Myristate

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

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Stearyl Alcohol

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

Batyl Alcohol

Squalane, non-pungent emollient 0-5%; low irritation, suits dry/sensitive skin, emulsion stabilizer.

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Dimethylacrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Crosspolymer

Acrylate crosspolymer, high-efficiency thickener and suspending agent; non-ionic, compatible with most actives, gel strength depends on crosslinking

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Arginine Hcl

Amphoteric amino acid salt, moisturizer and buffer; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.

PEG-240/Hdi Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether

PEG-modified polymer for light stabilization and thickening. PEG chain may cause irritation or sensitization.

Trisodium EDTA

Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Sodium Metaphosphate

Sodium metaphosphate; buffer and chelating agent; good water solubility, strongly alkaline, precise dosing required

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation

Prunus Speciosa Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Olea Europaea Leaf Extract

Olive leaf extract with hydroxytyrosol; antioxidant and polyphenolic; mild fragrance and skin conditioning.

Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract

Chinese herb extract used as a traditional tonic and skin conditioner.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Tocopherol

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