Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

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

Olus Oil/Vegetable Oil/Huile Végétale

Generic term for vegetable oils; not a single raw material. Specific oil identity required to assess stability, comedogenicity, and texture.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Betaine

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Arachidyl Alcohol

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

Arachidyl Glucoside

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

Avena Sativa Kernel Extract

Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas

Avena Strigosa Seed Extract

Oat seed extract; rich in beta-glucan; hydration and sensitive skin soothing; water-soluble barrier repair

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Cynara Scolymus Leaf Extract

Artichoke leaf extract for skin conditioning; often in botanical blends.

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides

Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides

Hydrogenated palm kernel glycerides; waxy emollient/viscosity modifier, soft feel, plant-derived.

Hydrolyzed Soybean Fiber

Hydrolyzed soybean fiber; skin protection and hydration; plant-derived, low sensitization risk

Lactic Acid

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

Lecithin

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

Lonicera Caprifolium Flower Extract

Honeysuckle extract for soothing and antioxidants; trace use, low allergenic risk

Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract

Honeysuckle extract for soothing; requires antimicrobial protection.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Pancratium Maritimum Extract

Seaholly extract; provides natural moisturizing polysaccharides; mild and highly hydrating at low usage levels.

Pinus Heldreichii Bark Extract

Not decoded yet

Sesamum Indicum Seed Extract

Sesame seed extract rich in oils and sesamin; used for hair and skin conditioning with smoothing and soothing properties.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan

Modified glucan for thickening and cleansing aid; low irritation, suitable for most formulas

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Polyacrylate Starch

Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

Tocopherol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
