Highlights

Free of alcoholFree of sulfatesFree of formaldehyde releasersContains essential oilsContains animal-derivedContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains mineral oilContains siliconesContains PEGContains parabens

Formulation view Aqueous base with light plant oils and biomimetic lipids for rich hydration. Contains yeast fermentate for barrier repair and lecithin to mimic cell membranes. Dimethicone improves slip; xanthan and acrylates adjust texture. Ideal for mature skin or eye care. Formulator note: complex lipid structure requires careful emulsification; multiple actives synergize for repair and moisture.

Ingredients explained

Water

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

BG

Butylene glycol; humectant and solvent. Low irritancy, common in water-in-oil and oil-in-water formulas.

Glycerin

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

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

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

PEG-20

Not decoded yet

Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate

Bio-mimetic lipid ester for emulsification and texture; provides high slip and is suitable for silicone-free formulas.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Isostearyl Isostearate

Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.

Saccharomyces Lysate Extract

Yeast lysate humectant and conditioner; rich in amino acids and NMF, strong barrier repair

Ornithine

Amino acid derivative for keratolytic and humectant effects; used at low levels, minimal irritation

Lavandula Stoechas Extract

French lavender extract rich in linalool; offers natural soothing aroma; requires allergen labeling when used as fragrance.

Passiflora Edulis Fruit Extract

Passion fruit extract with polysaccharides/vitamins; moisturizing/antioxidant, no known allergens.

Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate

Waxy emollient for feel enhancement; increases viscosity at high levels.

Dimethicone

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

PPG-51/Smdi Copolymer

PPG/SMDI copolymer for hair conditioning and fixing; provides gloss and hold.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate

Polyglyceryl-10 stearate emulsifier; multi-source, mild, co-emulsifier

Polyvinyl Alcohol

Film/viscosity agent for masks/cleansers; water-soluble, forms flexible film

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Polysorbate 60

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

Tocopherol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Glycolipids

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

Sodium Anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Extract

Sunflower seed extract; flavonoids and oleic acid, 0.5–5%; antioxidant repair, match phase, low allergenicity

Phenoxyethanol

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