Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Ethyl Oleate

Light emollient ester, fast absorption for oily skin; may contain fragrance traces

Niacinamide

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

C12-16 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter

Shea butter, occlusive emollient for dry skin and hair; high in lipids, caution for oily skin

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions

Phenoxyethanol

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

Dimethicone

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

Palmitic Acid

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Ceratonia Siliqua Seed Extract/Carob Seed Extract

Botanical gum extract for hydration and emollience; monitor batch-to-batch variability

Caprylyl Glycol

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

2-Oleamido-1,3-Octadecanediol

Lipid-based emollient for barrier repair; lipophilic.

Ectoin

Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems

Tocopherol

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

Eperua Falcata Bark Extract

Eperua falcata bark extract, skin protectant; alkaloid content, high batch variability, needs stabilization

Xanthan Gum

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Phytic Acid

Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.

Adenosine

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9

Citric Acid

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