Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Dimethicone

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glyceryl Distearate

Glyceride emollient/anti-static; oil-soluble, enhances emulsion stability.

Cetyl Ricinoleate

Plant-derived ester for emolliency and gloss; low irritancy and comedogenicity, suitable for dry skin.

Trisiloxane

Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.

Glyceryl Stearate SE

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

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Steareth-10

Not decoded yet

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Butyrospermum Parkii

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

Cetyl Esters

Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Glycerin

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Saccharomyces Lysate Extract

Yeast lysate humectant and conditioner; rich in amino acids and NMF, strong barrier repair

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Ceramide Ng

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Polysorbate 80

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

Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer

Polyacrylamide-based thickener with strong emulsion stabilizing power; strict control of residual monomer levels is required.

Xanthan Gum

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Citric Acid

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

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Panthenol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Disodium EDTA

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

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Blue 1

Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits

Red 4

Synthetic dye for coloration; use within legal limits.

Red 33

FD&C Red 33 synthetic dye; verify metal impurities; monitor sensitive users.

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
