Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid
- Non-ionic buffer to adjust pH around 5.5; commonly used at 0.1–0.5%
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Amino acid surfactant; mild cleansing agent with conditioning benefits for hair and skin.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Peg-20 Stearate
- PEG-20 stearate emulsifier/cleanser, 0.5–2%; PEG-class potential allergen/dioxane residue risk.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Perlite
- Inorganic porous material used as an absorbent and bulking agent; avoid dust inhalation.
- Poloxamer 338
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate
- Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
- Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.
- Tetrasodium Edta
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Eperua Falcata Bark Extract
- Eperua falcata bark extract, skin protectant; alkaloid content, high batch variability, needs stabilization
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxycinnamate
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
