Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- C9-12 Alkane
- C9-12 alkanes; solvent and emollient. Lightweight feel, verify source and refining history.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate
- Mild emulsifier for O/W systems; 1-3%, avoid cationic surfactants
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Ethyl Oleate
- Light emollient ester, fast absorption for oily skin; may contain fragrance traces
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Ectoin
- Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Rosa Canina Fruit Extract
- Rich in Vit C and polyphenols, astringent; water-soluble, unstable, add at low temp.
- Plankton Extract
- Plankton extract for skin conditioning; low concentrations typical, ensure source purity to avoid microbial contamination.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Unsaponifiables
- Shea butter unsaponifiables, rich in tocotrienols; high purity antioxidant/repair, premium active
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ethyl Stearate
- Not decoded yet
- Ethyl Linoleate
- Fatty acid ester emollient for dryness; prone to oxidation, requires light protection.
- Ethyl Palmitate
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexyl Polyhydroxystearate
- Emulsion stabilizer and emollient; improves spreadability at low levels
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sucrose
