Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Hydrated Silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Ethylhexyl Stearate

Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Glycerin

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

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Paraffinum Liquidum

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Prunus Cerasus Shell Powder

Not decoded yet

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Borago Officinalis Seed Oil

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) rich oil; excellent for repair but prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Ceramide NP

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

Hydrogenated Palm Oil

Emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity regulator; provides waxy structure, high levels may feel heavy.

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Cholesterol

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

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Parfum

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