Ingredients explained

Water

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

Hydrogenated Poly

Hydrogenated poly C6-14 olefins, saturated oil; occlusive, low permeability

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerine

Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.

Dimethicone

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2

Not decoded yet

Sucrose Distearate

Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate

Polyglyceryl ester for mild emollient/emulsifying; long-chain structure for rich feel.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

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

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Haberlea Rhodopensis Leaf Extract

Haberlea leaf extract for skin conditioning; limited data, patch test recommended.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Arachidic Acid

C20 straight-chain fatty acid acting as emulsifier and conditioner; adds opacity, biodegradable, low irritancy.

Propanediol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hydrolyzed Pearl

Hydrolyzed pearl source of amino acids and minerals; humectant and skin conditioner for repair claims.

Tocopherol

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

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Acetyl Heptapeptide-4

Not decoded yet

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Sorbic Acid

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

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract

Hydrolyzed collagen fragments claimed for skin protection, weak evidence, low usage levels

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Acetyl Octapeptide-3
