Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Crosspolymer
- Anionic thickener/emulsion stabilizer; generally mild with no significant irritation or comedogenic risk.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Coumarin
- Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract
- Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-72 Amide
