Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydroxyethyl Urea
- Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Methyl Gluceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Succinic Acid
- Dicarboxylic acid used as a buffer and natural metabolite; slight flavoring effect, low irritation
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG-20
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- PEG-60 Almond Glycerides
- Gentle almond-based PEG emulsifier; good for sensitive skin, monitor PEG hydrolysis
- Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract
- Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Saccharum Officinarum Extract
- Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Dehydroxanthan Gum
- Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract
- Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.
- Citrus Limon Fruit Extract
- Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.
- 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.
- Acer Saccharum Extract
- Maple extract; NMF/AA source; gentle humectant, no public irritant/comedogenic data
- Platycarya Strobilacea Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Psoralea Corylifolia Fruit Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sophora Flavescens Root Extract
- Sophora root extract containing matrine, used for oil control and antimicrobial benefits.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid
- Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability
- Oleanolic Acid
- Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.
