Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Glycerin

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

Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract

Chrysanthemum extract, 0.1-0.5% typical; low sensitization, avoid in chrysanthemum-allergic individuals

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Lactobionic Acid

Polyhydroxy acid for pH buffering; gentle, check stability at high levels

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Sodium Gluconate

Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
