Ingredients explained

Water

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

Butylene Glycol

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

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Polyglutamic Acid

Natural-derived polypeptide for hydration and skin conditioning; often used for long-lasting moisture

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Phytosqualane

Plant-derived emollient with lightweight feel; stable alternative suitable for sensitive skin.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Hamamelis Virginiana Water

Hamamelis water; tannins/flavonoids for astringent and soothing; low conc, generally well-tolerated

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

Polyglyceryl-3 distearate; natural-origin emulsifier; mild, suitable for sensitive skin, oil phase stable.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Nicotinoyl Dipeptide-23

Not decoded yet

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract

Zanthoxylum fruit extract for skin conditioning; contains capsaicinoids, watch for irritation.

Pulsatilla Koreana Extract

Herb-based aqueous extract for soothing and conditioning; low usage levels, no significant sensitization

Usnea Barbata Extract

Lichen extract; natural deodorant, contains usnic acid, for oral/body care, avoid dust inhalation.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Panthenol

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

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

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

Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Sodium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate for emulsion stabilization and thickening; ionic polymer, check ion compatibility.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Dicaprylyl Ether

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
