Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Glycerin

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Hexylresorcinol

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical range 0.1-1.5%, potential irritation at high levels, control pH.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Alpha-Arbutin

Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Kojic Acid

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; EU limit 1% in water, unstable and requires light protection, potential irritation.

Madecassic Acid

Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Malt Extract

Malt extract with sugars and polyphenols for skin protection; high sugar content requires preservative synergy

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Asiatic Acid

Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.

Ferulic Acid

Antioxidant, often combined with vitamin C and E; 0.5-2%, photolabile

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract

Amur cork tree bark, alkaloid rich; mild irritant, control dosage, avoid strong acids.

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Tocopherol

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Ectoin

Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil

Sea buckthorn oil, rich in carotenoids/Vit E/PUFA; strong antioxidant, light-sensitive, prone to oxidation.

Canola Oil

Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.

Beta-Sitosterol

Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

Peptide actives for skin conditioning; typically used at low levels.

Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil

Plant seed oil with antioxidants; may have natural fragrance, low photosensitizing potential

Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract

Carrot root extract with carotenoids; skin conditioning, low photosensitivity, may stain.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.

Sodium Dna

Water-soluble polymer for hydration and film feel; often claimed for repair support

Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract

Bark extract used as an antioxidant; ensure consistent raw material sourcing.
