Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Tea-Lauroyl Collagen Amino Acids
- Not decoded yet
- Collagen Amino Acids
- Hydrolyzed collagen peptides for hair and skin conditioning; low molecular weight aids moisturizing and conditioning, not direct collagen filling.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Ceteareth-25
- Not decoded yet
- Distearyl Phthalic Acid Amide
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Prunus Lannesiana Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- 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.
- Malic Acid
- AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity
- Prunus Mume Fruit Extract
- Fruit extract as humectant; contains natural polysaccharides, water-soluble.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Saccharomyces/Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Ferment Filtrate
- Ferment filtrate; skin conditioning, needs high microbial protection.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract
- Cladosiphon okamuranus extract containing polysaccharides, used for moisturizing and skin conditioning
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Ci 16255
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
