Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Di-C12-13 Alkyl Malate

Esther emollient to improve texture and gloss; low concentration, low comedogenic risk, no specific compatibility issues.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Diisopropyl Adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate

Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel

Propanediol

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

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

W/O emulsifier for fatty acids; contains PEG, verify preservative compatibility.

Zinc Gluconate

Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.

Pentaerythrityl Distearate

Oil-soluble emulsifier/wax; improves cream hardness and shine, typical use 1-5%, non-ionic

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Bis-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone

Modified silicone emulsifier 0.5-5%; emollient/cleansing, PEG & silicone

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol; antioxidant and conditioning. Often an A-alternative, prone to oxidation and color shift, needs stabilization.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment

Yeast ferment extract with polysaccharides; used for multifunctional effects, complex profile may sensitise.

Xanthan Gum

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract

Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Dimethicone

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

Rhamnose

Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Triisopropanolamine

Not decoded yet

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
