Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Hylocereus Undatus Fruit Extract

Hylocereus undatus fruit extract. Provides antioxidants and hydration. Complex natural composition requires stability testing; potential protein allergens.

Passion fruit extract with polysaccharides/vitamins; moisturizing/antioxidant, no known allergens.

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability

Ceramide AP

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

Ceramide EOP

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

Ceramide EOS

Barrier-repairing ceramide, 0.1–1%; optimal with hydrated lipids, suitable for dry skin

Ceramide NP

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

Ceramide NS

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

Calcium Pca

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

Cholesterol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Gellan Gum

Gellan gum; water-soluble polymer; gel former; high transparency, strong gelling, for aqueous phase stability.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Beeswax/Cera Alba/Cire D'Abeille

Emollient wax providing film formation and stabilization; potential allergen for bee-product sensitive users.

Caprooyl Phytosphingosine

Plant-derived biomimetic lipid for hair and skin conditioning.

Caprooyl Sphingosine

Biomimetic lipid for hair and skin conditioning; often formulated with other lipids.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Behenic Acid

Behenic acid, emulsifier and thickener; high comedogenic rating, limit use on acne-prone skin.

Hydrated Silica

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

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

PEG-12 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
