Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Glycerin

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

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Saccharide Isomerate

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

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter

Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

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

Shorea Robusta Seed Butter

Not decoded yet

Cetyl Palmitate

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

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Sorbitan Palmitate

Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.

Hydrogenated Avocado Oil

Not decoded yet

Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil

Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.

Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil

Passionflower seed oil; emollient; prone to oxidation, needs protection.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Lavandula Angustifolia Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Aromatic skin conditioning extract; contains fragrance allergens, test for sensitivity.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Oryza Sativa Bran Oil

Rice bran oil rich in oryzanol and linoleic acid for conditioning; moderate comedogenic rating, mind oxidative stability.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil

Euterpe oleifera fruit oil; rich in oleic and palmitic acids for conditioning

Citric Acid

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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

Geraniol

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

Citronellol

Citral

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

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Sodium Citrate

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Tocopherol

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
