Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alpinia Speciosa Leaf Water
- Leaf water; mild soothing/antimicrobial; boost preservative system due to natural load.
- Glycosyl Trehalose
- Glycosylated trehalose to enhance skin tolerance and moisture retention; acts as a film former.
- Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate
- Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.
- Etidronic Acid
- Etidronic acid chelator, restriction III/53 (<0.01%); binds metal ions to prevent oxidative discoloration.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Carboxymethyl Chitosan Succinamide
- Chitosan derivative; film-forming and humectant for hair/skin; check pH for film integrity.
- Hydrolyzed Sponge
- Hydrolyzed sponge polysaccharide. Strong humectant, high molecular weight, low allergenicity. Good for dry skin; preserve.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Placental Protein
- Animal-derived protein; restricted under EU cosmetic regulations, verify non-animal or substitute compliance
- Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract
- Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
