Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Paraffinum Liquidum

Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Glycerin

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

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.

Dimethicone

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

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Ceteareth-12

Not decoded yet

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Xanthan Gum

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Pectin

Natural polysaccharide binder/stabilizer for gels; incompatible with cationics

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Butylene Glycol

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

Carrageenan

Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract

Pomelo extract with astringent and skin-conditioning properties; contains phototoxic citrus components, assess risk for daytime use.

Clematis Vitalba Leaf Extract

Botanical extract for soothing and conditioning; used in sensitive skin care.

Equisetum Arvense Extract

Horsetail extract; silicic acid and phenols for astringency; contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, control source and purity

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract

Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.

Hedera Helix Leaf Extract

Ivy leaf extract, saponins, anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictor, low conc.

Spiraea Ulmaria Extract

Astringent/tonic plant extract for skin care; batch-to-batch variability, concentration control recommended

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Parfum

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products

Linalool

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
