- Prunus Armeniaca Seed Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil
- Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.
- Copernicia Cerifera Cera
- Carnauba wax, viscosity and film; high melt point, heat-stable, for creams.
- [Copernicia Cerifera Wax]
- Not decoded yet
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- 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
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
