Ingredients explained

Water

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

Panthenol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Propanediol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

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.

Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract

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

Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract

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

Glycerin

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

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

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

Corallina Officinalis Extract

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Glucose

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Chondrus Crispus Extract

Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

Cationic hyaluronic acid, 0.1–1%; water-soluble thickener and conditioning agent.

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Pyridoxine

Vitamin B6, water-soluble; skin/hair conditioner/anti-static, poor light stability, protect from light.

Folic Acid

Folic acid, Vitamin B9, used for skin conditioning to support cellular metabolism

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Cyanocobalamin

Vitamin B12 derivative, antioxidant and skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires light-protective packaging, water-soluble

Tocopherol

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

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Riboflavin

Vitamin B2 for color and skin care; photosensitive, requires light-shielding packaging

Thiamine Hcl

Vitamin B1 hydrochloride; acts as conditioner and fragrance agent, used at low concentrations for skin health and metabolism.

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Potassium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic salt, excellent humectant; efficacy varies with MW, best with occlusive base

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.
