Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dimethicone

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

Babassu Oil Polyglyceryl-4-Esters

Baobab/Palm oil polyglyceryl ester; mild emulsifier and emollient for sensitive skin.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions

Benzyl Glycol

Solvent and viscosity regulator; aids solubility of actives, slight preservative boost

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing

Panthenol

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

Niacinamide

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

Propanediol

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

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide

Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Parfum

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

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Polyglyceryl-3 Cocoate

Non-ionic emulsifier from coconut fatty acids, gentle, used in O/W or W/O systems at 1-5%, requires pH adjustment.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

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

Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice

Jerusalem artichoke root juice, rich in polysaccharides, moisturiser; natural, prone to spoilage, needs preservatives

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

Magnesium Pca

Magnesium PCA; chelator and humectant with synergistic Mg/PCA action; low irritation, water-soluble.

Tocopherol

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

Raspberry Ketone

Natural raspberry ketone; acts as fragrance and skin conditioning agent; often added in trace amounts for specific claims.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

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

Zinc Pca

Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization

Biosaccharide Gum-4

Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk

Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract

Mangosteen peel extract, rich in polyphenols/alpha-gallic acid; antioxidant/skin conditioning, monitor for color changes.

Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.

Sodium Glycolate

Gentle buffering salt for adjusting formulation pH; use with soaps within neutral range.

Citric Acid

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

Manganese Pca

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
