Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Colloidal Oatmeal
- Colloidal oatmeal; absorbs oil, soothes, mild exfoliation; allergen filtering required, suits barrier repair
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- PEG-40 Stearate
- Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
