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
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Polyquaternium-6
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract
- Longleaf pine needle extract for toning; contains essential oils, allergen risk for sensitive skin.
- Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract
- Plant extract for basic skin conditioning; low usage, ensure raw material consistency
- Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract
- Evening primrose flower extract acting as an astringent; generally safe at standard formulation levels.
- Pueraria Lobata Root Extract
- Kudzu root extract as humectant; contains isoflavones, limit dose due to endocrine activity.
- Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract
- Lotus flower extract containing magnolol, skin conditioner; botanical, low concentration use
- Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract
- Eggplant fruit extract for skin conditioning; watch for batch consistency and potential allergenicity.
- Beta-Glucan
- Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
- Madecassic Acid
- Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage
- Asiaticoside
- Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.
- Asiatic Acid
- Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
