Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Coconut Alkanes

Coconut alkanes as solvents/emollients with medium volatility; check oxidation stability.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

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.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables

Oleic unsaponifiables (squalane/phytane); heavy-duty emollients suitable for dry, damaged skin repair

Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate

Emollient ester and emulsifier; provides silky feel in O/W systems, generally mild and non-irritating

Glycerin

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

Rhus Succedanea

Anacardiaceae extract used in herbal formulations. Limited public allergen data; verify extract purity and potential resinous sensitizers if used as an active.

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Sorbitol

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

Sodium PCA

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

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil

Linoleic-rich seed oil; high oxidation risk, requires antioxidants and light protection to maintain stability

Galactoarabinan

Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Sorbitan Palmitate

Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.

Inulin Lauryl Carbamate

Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Lonicera Caprifolium Flower Extract

Honeysuckle extract for soothing and antioxidants; trace use, low allergenic risk

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract

Spilanthol rich flower extract, used for soothing and antioxidant effects in repair formulas

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Lupinus Albus Seed Extract

Botanical skin conditioning agent; rich in proteins and polyphenols, suits dry or barrier-compromised skin

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Ethanol

Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract

Honeysuckle extract for soothing; requires antimicrobial protection.

Phytic Acid

Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Lecithin

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

Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Leaf Extract

Gynostemma leaf extract rich in saponins and polysaccharides for hydration and antioxidant care. Generally stable in aqueous phases; check compatibility with extreme pH.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Chrysin

Flavonoid for skin conditioning; low solubility, use carriers or micronization.

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Palmitoyl oligopeptide for firming; water-soluble bioactive peptide, avoid high heat, functional additive.

Chlorhexidine Digluconate

Antimicrobial agent often in oral care or antiseptics; residual odor noted; long-term use may cause resistance or sensitivity.

Polyaminopropyl Biguanide

Active preservative Polyaminopropyl Biguanide; effective at low levels, broad-spectrum, avoid anionic surfactants.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers

N-Hydroxysuccinimide

Chemical auxiliary for forming acyl ester bonds; usually not retained in final product, control residual levels during synthesis.

Tocopherol

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

Soy Isoflavones

Soy isoflavones; phytoestrogen antioxidant; topically safe, high dose may affect endocrine.

Lepidium Sativum Sprout Extract

Garden cress sprout extract, plant-based skin conditioner; may cause mild irritation in sensitive skin at high concentrations.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
