Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract
- Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Piper Methysticum Leaf/Root/Stem Extract
- Plant extract for skin conditioning; some claim soothing, test on sensitive skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Oligopeptide-59
- Not decoded yet
- Heptapeptide-10
- Not decoded yet
- Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex
- Water-soluble green pigment; provides antioxidant and deodorizing effects; used for natural green coloring.
