Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Butylene Glycol

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Alpha-Arbutin

Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Polyisobutene

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Disodium EDTA

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

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Astaxanthin

Potent lipophilic antioxidant from algae; effective at trace levels (0.001-0.01%), prone to photodegradation, requires encapsulation or protection.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Glycerin

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

Lecithin

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Polysorbate 20

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

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Xanthan Gum

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

Genistein

Flavonoid antioxidant with skin conditioning effects; check EU restriction III/373.

Lepidium Sativum Sprout Extract

Garden cress sprout extract, plant-based skin conditioner; may cause mild irritation in sensitive skin at high concentrations.
