Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Isopropyl Myristate

Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin

Polyglyceryl-6 distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier; mild, PEG-free, good compatibility for cream systems.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Persea gratissima oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Glycerin

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

Jojoba esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil

Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Linum usitatissimum Seed Oil

Flaxseed oil; high oleic, emollient; prone to oxidation.

Calendula Officinalis Extract

Calendula extract; antioxidant, potential allergen at high doses

Polyglyceryl-3 beeswax

Beeswax-derived emulsifier, mild and biodegradable; offers emollience for sensitive formulations

Laureth-9

Not decoded yet

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Tocopherol

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

Hydrogenated vegetable glycerides citrate

Vegetable-derived oil ester with emollient and emulsifying properties; improves light stability, 1–5%.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Trideceth-6

Not decoded yet

Beta-sitosterol

Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.

Squalene

Squalene, lightweight emollient, easily absorbed; animal sources restricted, plant sources preferred

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Hydrolyzed wheat protein

Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products

Sodium glutamate

Flavoring agent & humectant, food-grade, non-irritating, often used for masking.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
