Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

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

Glycerin

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

Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide

Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate

Waxy skin conditioner; adds gloss and emollience; non-comedogenic but heavy for oily skin.

PEG-32

Not decoded yet

Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice

Jerusalem artichoke root juice, rich in polysaccharides, moisturiser; natural, prone to spoilage, needs preservatives

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Dimethicone

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Phenoxyethanol

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Hydrogenated palm oil

Emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity regulator; provides waxy structure, high levels may feel heavy.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Elaeis Guineensis Kernel Oil

Not decoded yet

Potassium Hydroxide

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

Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate

Lactobacillus ferment lysate for skin conditioning; provides soothing and hydration, low sensitization risk if sterile.

Jasminum Sambac Leaf Cell Extract

Not decoded yet

Elaeis guineensis oil

Palm oil, emollient occlusive; saturated fats, moderate comedogenic risk.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Tocopherol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Sorbitan isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Acetic acid

Provides sourness or buffering; high concentrations are corrosive, pH control is critical in leave-on products

Alteromonas Ferment Extract

Ferment filtrate with peptides/polysaccharides; skin conditioning, 1–3% typical; check preservative system.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Cyanocobalamin

Vitamin B12 derivative, antioxidant and skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires light-protective packaging, water-soluble

Glyceryl caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Propanediol

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

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Signal peptide promoting collagen synthesis; effective at low concentration, needs penetration enhancers or encapsulation

Dextran

Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8

Palmitoyl tripeptide-8 signaling peptide; 0.1–1%, aqueous stability watch

Royal Jelly
