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

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Dimethicone

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Isosorbide Dicaprylate

Isosorbide dicaprylate; lightweight emollient improves roughness; low absorption, suitable for oily skin formulations.

Magnolia Flower Water

Isopentyldiol

Solvent at 1–10%; helps dissolve actives, fresh feel

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

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

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5

Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, a moisturizing peptide that enhances skin hydration via hydrolysis, typically mild, used to improve dryness

Hyaluronic Acid

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

Glycosphingolipids

Lipids mimicking sebum to repair skin barrier and reduce TEWL. Biological origin, low irritancy.

Glycolipids

Cell membrane lipids mimicking skin barrier structure; used in repair formulations and biomimetic membranes

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Silanetriol

Basic silanetriol for hair anti-static and smoothness; must be complexed with polymers for stability

Chicory Root Oligosaccharides

Chicory root oligosaccharides as humectant and skin conditioner; water-soluble for polyol systems.

Magnesium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan

Water-soluble beta-glucan derivative for hydration and barrier soothing; high bioactivity, stability in acidic/oxidizing env.

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Lysolecithin

Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Polylactic Acid

Physical exfoliating abrasive; particle size must suit efficacy without scratching

Bismuth Oxychloride

White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some

Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate

Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens
