Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerine

Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.

Paraffinum Liquidum

Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate

Cetearyl ester for emollience/stabilizing; light texture, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Dimethicone

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

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Lecithin

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

Hydrolysed Milk Protein

Not decoded yet

Rosa Moschata Seed Oil

Rosehip seed oil, high in linoleic acid; emollient but heavy, avoid for oily/acne-prone skin.

Zea Mays Oil

Corn oil; light emollient and stabilizer. Low comedogenic rating (1). Use at 2-5% as carrier.

Calcium Pantothenate

Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners

Inositol

Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin

Retinol

Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated

Biotin

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

PEG-20 Castor Oil

Not decoded yet

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Disodium EDTA

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

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Propanediol

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

Tocopherol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

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.

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

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

Geraniol

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

Hexyl Cinnamal

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Imidazolidinyl Urea

Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
