Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

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.

Methyl Gluceth-20

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Disodium EDTA

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

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract

Sodium PCA

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract

Lotus flower extract containing magnolol, skin conditioner; botanical, low concentration use

Artemisia Annua Extract

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Saccharomyces Ferment

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Oxygen

Oxygen in O₂-pump formats; requires inert packing; not a typical formulation ingredient.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
