Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Glycerin

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

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Peg-12

Not decoded yet

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Euglena Gracilis Extract

Euglena gracilis extract, antioxidant-rich; moisturizing, plant-derived, check allergenicity.

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

Biosaccharide Gum-4

Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Silanediol Salicylate

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides

Hydrogenated palm kernel glycerides; waxy emollient/viscosity modifier, soft feel, plant-derived.

Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride

Ester-based emulsifier and emollient; oil phase component, aids emulsification and improves skin feel, low comedogenicity.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Glyceryl Dibehenate

Glycerol dibehenate as emollient and skin conditioner. High-carbon chain ester providing slip; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

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

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Peg-75 Stearate

PEG-75 stearate, non-ionic emulsifier/thickener; PEG-based, check for 1,4-dioxane limits, not used in some markets.

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide

Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil

Sesame seed oil for skin and hair conditioning, natural fragrance; prone to oxidation, keep dark

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Safflower Oil / Palm Oil Aminopropanediol Esters

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Palm Glyceride

Not decoded yet

Bht

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil

Nutrient-rich emollient with Vit E; low irritancy but relevant for gluten-sensitive; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Algin

Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility

Geranylgeranylisopropanol

Not decoded yet

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Phoenix Dactylifera Seed Extract

Phoenix dactylifera seed extract with polysaccharides and phenols for humectancy and conditioning; water-soluble, verify preservative system.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Rhizobian Gum

Biofilm former and viscosity agent for hair; biocompatible and mild

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Tocopherol

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

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Hexyl Cinnamal
