Ingredients explained

Water

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

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Butylene Glycol

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Niacinamide

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

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

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Myristyl Alcohol

Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Adenosine

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

Lauryl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol for emulsifying and thickening; low comedogenic, mild irritation possible on dry sensitive skin.

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Snail Secretion Filtrate

Snail secretion filtrate with moisturizing and repairing peptides; animal-derived, monitor purity and allergy risk

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Gentiana Lutea Root Extract

Plant root extract for conditioning and fragrance; may impart slight bitterness, test compatibility for sensitive skin

Artemisia Absinthium Extract

Artemisia extract for conditioning; terpenes present, photosensitizing, caution for day use, avoid strong acids.

Arnica Montana Flower Extract

Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised

Achillea Millefolium Extract

Yarrow extract; chrysogenic content for soothing; contains essential oil components, assess phototoxicity and allergens

Disodium EDTA

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

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Ci 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Ci 15985

Synthetic colorant Yellow 4; known maximum usage limits, potential allergy for some, add per regulations with batch records.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
