Ingredients explained

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.

Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract

Coccinia indica fruit extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritation.

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract

Holy basil leaf extract for conditioning; complex botanical, patch test recommended for compatibility

Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract

Extract for basic emollience; usually low-level, check extract solvent residues

Madecassic Acid

Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage

Asiatic Acid

Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract

Eggplant fruit extract for skin conditioning; watch for batch consistency and potential allergenicity.

Corallina Officinalis Extract

Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.

Glucose

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

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Butylene Glycol

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

Polyglycerin-3

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Panthenol

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

Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract

Leontopodium alpinum callus extract; antioxidant, high batch-to-batch variability

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Sodium Acrylates Copolymer

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

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Ceramide NP

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

SH-Oligopeptide-2

Not decoded yet

SH-Polypeptide-1

Not decoded yet

SH-Oligopeptide-1

Synthetic short oligopeptide for skin conditioning; generally low irritancy and comedogenicity

Lecithin

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Phosphatidylcholine

Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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