Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Propanediol

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

Diethylhexyl Carbonate

Light emollient for silky texture; non-comedogenic, suits most skin types.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Potassium Olivoyl Hydrolyzed Oat Protein

Not decoded yet

Olea Europaea Fruit Unsaponifiables

Not decoded yet

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Dimethicone

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

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Xanthan Gum

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Dimethyl Sulfone

Dimethyl sulfoxide, strong penetrant and solvent; volatile odor, concentration control needed

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Glycine Soja Sterols

Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin

Linoleic Acid

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

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate

Glycyrrhizin derivative offering core soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits, plus emollience for reactive skin

Thioctic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives

Anogeissus Leiocarpus Bark Extract

Bark extract for skin protection; no major incompatibilities noted.

Disodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphate

Not decoded yet

Sodium Glucuronate

Sodium glucuronate; humectant and chelating agent. Use at 1-5%; chelates metal ions for stability.

Methylglucoside Phosphate

Modified sugar-based surfactant acting as mild conditioning agent; performance affected by hard water, use with chelating agents.

Naringin

Not decoded yet

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Copper Lysinate/Prolinate

Copper amino acid chelate; claims collagen support, use at 0.01–0.05%, may discolor

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic 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.

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Tryptophan

Amino acid for conditioning and antistatic; faint odor.

Methionine

Sulfur-containing amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; often used in combinations with other amino acids.

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

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

Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate

Complex peptide precursor for skin conditioning; limited public data, follow supplier dosage.
