Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Paraffinum Liquidum
- Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides
- Hydrogenated vegetable glycerides
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- PEG-40 Stearate
- Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Sucrose Cocoate
- Non-ionic surfactant, gentle emulsifier, plant-derived, low comedogenic.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Alaria Esculenta Extract
- Alaria esculenta extract; alginates, 0.1–1%; film-forming and moisturizing; water phase, watch batch stability
- Sucrose Laurate
- Sucrose laurate; mild emulsifier and detergent; used for thickening and emulsifying creams; may cause mild irritation.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sucrose Palmitate
- Succrose ester for gentle emulsification/cleansing; biodegradable, low comedogenicity.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Linalool
