Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

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

Dipentaerythrityl Hexa C5-9 Acid Esters

Lightweight emollient; smooth, non-greasy feel; used as emollient/plasticizer; low comedogenicity.

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate

Mild emulsifier and emollient with cleansing function; suitable for baby and sensitive skin, low irritancy.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Glucoside

Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin

Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

Polyglyceryl-3 distearate; natural-origin emulsifier; mild, suitable for sensitive skin, oil phase stable.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Ceramide NP

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

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

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Xanthan Gum

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

Tocopherol

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

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.

Disodium EDTA

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing

Sucrose Cocoate

Non-ionic surfactant, gentle emulsifier, plant-derived, low comedogenic.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Amino-acid ester for emulsification and conditioning; mild, no public comedogenic data

Cholesterol

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

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

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

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Ceramide NS

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

Ceramide EOP

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