Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- 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.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Tocopheryl _Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
- Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Ascorbic Acid
- Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Beta-Carotene
- Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.
- Zea Mays Oil
- Corn oil; light emollient and stabilizer. Low comedogenic rating (1). Use at 2-5% as carrier.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- 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.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Tea-Lactate
- TEA-Lactate; pH adjuster and humectant, potential skin irritation at high levels, control residual amounts.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Gelatin
- Animal-derived film former for capsules/masks; pH-sensitive, prone to microbial degradation.
- Sucrose
- Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Acrylates/Acrylamide Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Paraffinum Liquidum
- Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Polysorbate 85
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
