Formulation view Gel cleansing system with sucrose stearate, enriched with ceramides, cholesterol, and botanical extracts for barrier support. Algae and caviar extracts provide nutrition; alcohol aids solubility. Rinse-off formula for barrier-repair needs. Formulator's note: Stacking multiple active lipids and extracts in a cleanser requires a gentle surfactant system to ensure efficacy and prevent residue buildup.

Ingredients explained

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Glycerin

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

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Sucrose Stearate

Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.

Alcohol

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

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Extract

Shea butter extract for conditioning and moisture; extraction may leave trace impurities, comedogenicity follows base oil rating of 2.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Caviar Extract

Caviar extract; protein/lipid repair and antioxidant, animal-derived, manage odor and microbial load

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.

Disodium EDTA

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

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract

Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.

Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine

Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, bio-mimetic emulsifier; gentle emulsifier and skin conditioner, suitable for liposomal systems.

Hydrolyzed Elastin

Hydrolyzed elastin, moisturizer; MW determines penetration, large MW surface conditioning.

Hydroxyproline

Amino acid derivative for humectancy and skin conditioning; supports collagen metabolism, water-soluble, gentle

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Phenoxyethanol

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

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility

Soluble Collagen

Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film

Spirulina Platensis Extract

Spirulina platensis extract; rich in phycocyanin; skin protector; dark color requires color management

Squalene

Squalene, lightweight emollient, easily absorbed; animal sources restricted, plant sources preferred

Sucrose Laurate

Sucrose laurate; mild emulsifier and detergent; used for thickening and emulsifying creams; may cause mild irritation.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Triethyl Citrate

Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent

Xanthan Gum
