Dimethicone
Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
Propylene Glycol
Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
Glycerin
Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Simmondsia Chinensis Oil
Not decoded yet
Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil
Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.
Oenothera Biennis Oil
Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
Glyceryl Stearate
Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
Cetearyl Alcohol
Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
Ethylhexyl Palmitate
Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
Carbomer
Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
Phenoxyethanol
Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
Potassium Hydroxide
Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
Hordeum Vulgare Cera
Not decoded yet
Tocopheryl Acetate
Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
Panthenol
Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract
Contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids for repair and soothing; strict content limits required to avoid liver toxicity.
Aluminum/Magnesium Hydroxide Stearate
Al-Mg stearate for emulsification and viscosity; metal soaps may migrate at high temp.
Panax Ginseng Root Extract
Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Not decoded yet
Caprylyl Glycol
Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil
Nutrient-rich emollient with Vit E; low irritancy but relevant for gluten-sensitive; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
Cananga Odorata Leaf Oil
Not decoded yet
Linoleic Acid
Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
Triolein
Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.
Behenic Acid
Behenic acid, emulsifier and thickener; high comedogenic rating, limit use on acne-prone skin.
Mentha Piperita Oil
Peppermint essential oil, strong cooling; highly irritating and sensitizing at high levels; dilute, avoid in sensitive skin.

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
Propyl Gallate
Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.
Citric Acid
Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
Ascorbyl Palmitate
Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
