Ingredients explained
- Deionized Water
- Deionized water as primary solvent; inactive but carries other ingredients, purity needed to prevent metal ion interference.
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- PEG-40 Stearate
- Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- 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
- Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract
- Camellia oleifera leaf extract containing tea polyphenols; acts as astringent and skin conditioner, monitor raw material consistency.
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Butylparaben
- Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.
- Imidazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
