Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Phosphatidylcholine
- Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cyclodextrin
- Cyclodextrin; used as a stabilizer or solubilizer to improve solubility of active ingredients and fragrances
- Asiaticoside
- Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.
- Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
- Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability
- Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3
- Not decoded yet
- Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
- Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent
- Retinal*
- Not decoded yet
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38
- Palmitoyl tripeptide; signaling peptide for collagen and antioxidants; 0.1-1% typical, light-sensitive
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Dimethyl Sulfone
- Dimethyl sulfoxide, strong penetrant and solvent; volatile odor, concentration control needed
- Fulvic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxyproline
- Amino acid derivative for humectancy and skin conditioning; supports collagen metabolism, water-soluble, gentle
- Beta-Glucan
- Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
- Thioctic Acid
- Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Rubus Chamaemorus Seed Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Santalum Austrocaledonicum Wood Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Pogostemon Cablin Oil
- Patchouli oil for fragrance; contains patchoulol, potential irritant/allergen, use cautiously.
- Lonicera Caprifolium Flower Extract
- Honeysuckle extract for soothing and antioxidants; trace use, low allergenic risk
- Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract
- Honeysuckle extract for soothing; requires antimicrobial protection.
- Dextran
- Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin
- Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
