Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Phytic Acid
- Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract
- Seaweed extract with chondroitin; film-forming moisturizer for elasticity and firmness.
- Glycogen
- Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.
- Parfum *
- Fragrance mixture for scent; may contain multiple allergens, ensure compliance with EU 26 allergen limits.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
