Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Myristic acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dipropylene glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Fragance
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- PEG-90M
- Polyethylene glycol-based emulsifier and thickener at 0.1–0.5%; highly hydrophilic, may contain trace PEG impurities, caution for sensitive skin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Sodium metaphosphate
- Sodium metaphosphate; buffer and chelating agent; good water solubility, strongly alkaline, precise dosing required
- Aluminum hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- PEG/PPG-14/7 dimethyl ether
- Solvent and skin conditioning agent improving texture; contains PEG structure for solubilization
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Hydrolyzed silk
- Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin
