Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
- Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*
- Shea butter providing occlusive moisture; standard comedogenic rating is 2, watch for clogging risk in combination formulas.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Tapioca Starch*
- Not decoded yet
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*
- Aloe leaf juice powder for polymeric moisture and soothing; dry powder requiring rehydration, generally low irritation.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract
- Lotus extract, traditional sedative; limited data, use as secondary functional ingredient.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Sodium Anisate
- Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
