Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

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

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Ci 77491/Iron Oxides

Iron oxide yellow, inorganic pigment for coloration; high coverage, inert and safe for sensitive skin

Avena Sativa Kernel Oil

Oat kernel oil for skin conditioning; moisturizing, sensitive skin friendly

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Capsicum Annuum Fruit Extract

Capsicum extract with capsaicinoids that increase microcirculation; high levels are strongly irritating.

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil

Sea buckthorn oil, rich in carotenoids/Vit E/PUFA; strong antioxidant, light-sensitive, prone to oxidation.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Olus Oil/Vegetable Oil

Not decoded yet

Bacillus Ferment

Bacillus ferment extract; skin conditioner with peptides; verify sterile specs and endotoxin levels

Escin

Horse chestnut extract for venous circulation and anti-inflammatory; caution near eyes; potential plant-based allergen

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Polyacrylate Starch

Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.

Butylene Glycol

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

Silica

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

Sodium Polyacrylate

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

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Propylene Glycol

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Ci 15985/Yellow 6 Lake

Yellow pigment aluminum lake for aqueous tinting; premix to prevent flocculation

Ci 77499/Iron Oxides

Iron oxide black, inorganic pigment for color or coverage; inert and safe, requires fine grinding for texture
