Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate

Lightweight emollient, low viscosity, refreshes skin feel, high compatibility.

Coco-Caprylate

Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Glycerin

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

Oryza Sativa Starch

Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry

Isononyl Isononanoate

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Phenoxyethanol

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

Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Sodium Acrylates Copolymer

Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Glycine Soja Sterols

Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Phenethyl Alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Carrageenan

Seaweed-derived thickener and stabilizer, 0.5-1.5% adjusts viscosity; sensitive to ions, test compatibility with cationic surfactants.

Jania Rubens Extract

Jania rubens extract with polysaccharides; moisturizing skin conditioner, check algal batch stability.

Rhizobian Gum

Biofilm former and viscosity agent for hair; biocompatible and mild

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Linalool

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

Tocopherol

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

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Propanediol

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Succinic Acid

Dicarboxylic acid used as a buffer and natural metabolite; slight flavoring effect, low irritation

Colloidal Gold

Colloidal gold particles used for color or claimed antimicrobial/soothing effects; monitor metal ion migration and potential toxicity.

Acetyl Heptapeptide-9
