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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Pentylene Glycol

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

Methyl Gluceth-20

Not decoded yet

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea Fruit Extract

Bilberry fruit extract rich in polyphenols; antioxidant at <2%; stable profile with low irritation risk

Brassica Oleracea Acephala Leaf Extract

Kale leaf extract for humectancy/skin conditioning; rich in polyphenols; check solvent residues.

Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil

Chia seed extract rich in omega-3/6; moisturizes and conditions skin, monitor oxidation stability.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder

Tea polyphenol powder; exfoliation and antioxidants, grind size dictates abrasion

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Glucosyl Ceramide

Glycosylated ceramide enhancing barrier repair and moisture; more stable than free ceramide

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Pelargonium Graveolens Oil

Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.

Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

Ylang-ylang essential oil, natural fragrance; contains multiple allergens, restrict usage per EU regulations, avoid for sensitive skin

Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil

Citrus essential oil; photosensitizing furanocoumarins present, limit daytime use; EU 26 allergen.

Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil

Clove leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; irritant risk at high levels, restricted by EU.

Tocopherol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Butylene Glycol

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

Alpha-Glucan

Hydrating sugar polymer that enhances stratum corneum hydration and improves skin radiance

Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin; used as a stabilizer or solubilizer to improve solubility of active ingredients and fragrances

Dimaltosyl Cyclodextrin

Not decoded yet

Maltose

Maltose humectant/skin conditioner; low sweetness, masking; monitor microbial growth.

Maltosyl Cyclodextrin

Not decoded yet

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Phenoxyethanol

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