Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isopropyl Stearate
- Isopropyl stearate, synthetic emollient; non-comedogenic, light feel
- Dicaprylyl Ether
- Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.
- Glyceryl Glucoside
- Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate
- Composite emulsifier for stable O/W systems, provides mild cleansing.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Arginine Hcl
- Amphoteric amino acid salt, moisturizer and buffer; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Carnitine
- Carnitine, used in cleansers as foam booster and conditioner; water-soluble, mild.
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Sucrose
- Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.
- Citrulline
- Citrulline amino-acid derivative, moisturizing; 1–5%, water-soluble, pairs well with HA.
- Glycogen
- Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.
- Histidine Hcl
- Amino acid salt for pH buffering and hair conditioning; gentle buffering system, potential sensitization at high concentrations.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Glutamic Acid
- Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
- Lysine Hcl
- Lysine HCl, amino acid for hair and skin conditioning, reduces protein loss
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- 1
- Not decoded yet
- 2-Hexanediol
- 2-Hexanediol; branched-chain diol solvent and co-preservative, mild odor, weak humectant.
- 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
