Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Arachidyl Alcohol
- Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams
- Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate
- Lightweight oil emulsifier providing non-greasy feel; dual function as emulsifier and emollient
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Glycol Palmitate
- Not decoded yet
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Arachidyl Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates
- Methylpropanediol
- Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- 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.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Phosphate Buffered Saline
- Buffered saline as solvent; aqueous phase needs preservative.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Disodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer-2
- Not decoded yet
- Dextran
- Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8
- Palmitoyl tripeptide-8 signaling peptide; 0.1–1%, aqueous stability watch
- Glutathione
- Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.
- Pyridoxine Hcl
- Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate
- Thioctic Acid
- Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives
- Acetyl Cysteine
- Cysteine derivative antioxidant and conditioner; check pH and metal ion compatibility.
- Lysine Hydrochloride
- Not decoded yet
- Valine
- Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types
- Isoleucine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.
- Leucine
- Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Zinc Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Copper Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
