Ingredients explained

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

C12-20 Acid PEG-8 Ester

Non-ionic emulsifier/solubilizer, C12-20 PEG-8 esters; mild but PEG stability needs watch.

Glycerin

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

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water

Bitter orange flower water offering floral fragrance and mild conditioning.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Saccharide Isomerate

Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Cetyl Alcohol

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

PTFE

PTFE as insoluble filler; inert and non-allergenic, but control particle size to avoid physical irritation

Phenoxyethanol

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

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

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

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Caffeine

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Alcohol Denat

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

Triticum Vulgare Protein

Wheat protein for conditioning and film formation; contains gluten-related proteins, caution for sensitive groups.

Lecithin

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Citrate

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

PEG-8

Not decoded yet

Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax

Plant wax for emollience and film formation; blend with other waxes for melting point.

Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Wax

Jasmine wax fraction for fragrance; natural allergen source requires risk assessment.

Narcissus Poeticus Flower Wax

Waxy fraction with floral notes; minor usage as fragrance component; check for allergens

Alcohol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Glycoproteins

Glycoproteins for hydration and conditioning; enhance skin barrier; verify source for vegan requirements.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Tocopherol

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

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Arnica Montana Flower Extract

Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Hamamelis Virginiana Extract

Botanical extract for astringent and sebum control; mild irritation risk for sensitive skin at high concentrations.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Polysorbate 20

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

Potassium Phosphate

pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions

Retinol

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

Leontopodium Alpinum Extract

Edelweiss extract; flavonoid-rich skin conditioner; scarce raw material, high cost, verify batch consistency

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract

Bilberry extract with polyphenols for astringency and soothing.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

[Citronellol

Citronellol; common in essential oils; EU 26 allergen, requires declaration; monitor phototoxicity

Geraniol]
