Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Butylene Glycol

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate

Waxy skin conditioner; adds gloss and emollience; non-comedogenic but heavy for oily skin.

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Octyldodeceth-16

Not decoded yet

Rosa Canina Fruit Extract

Rich in Vit C and polyphenols, astringent; water-soluble, unstable, add at low temp.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Cholesteryl Hydroxystearate

Not decoded yet

Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract

Eclipta prostrata leaf extract; polyphenols, 0.1–1%; antioxidant and soothing, stable in water, batch color variability

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Fructooligosaccharides

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

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Tocopherol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide AS

Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.

Ceramide NS

Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.
