Not decoded yet

Dimethicone

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

Laureth-4

Not decoded yet

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Citrus Limon Peel Oil

Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance

Citrus Grandis Peel Oil

Grapefruit peel oil for fragrance; EU restricted, sensitizing properties, used as fragrance.

Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil

Spearmint oil for cooling/fragrance, restricted; label allergens, limit for sensitive skin

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract

Mangosteen peel extract, rich in polyphenols/alpha-gallic acid; antioxidant/skin conditioning, monitor for color changes.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Wax

Citrus flower wax for slip and occlusion; contains flavonoids and trace oils, low phototoxicity

Castanea Sativa Seed Extract

Tannin- and phytate-rich seed extract used as an antioxidant skin conditioner.

Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract

Botanical extract with astringent and skin conditioning properties

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water

Bitter orange flower water offering floral fragrance and mild conditioning.

Laminaria Saccharina Extract

Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination

Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract

Wheat germ extract, nutrient-rich; contains gluten, test for sensitivity.

Adenosine Phosphate

Pantethine

Panthenine, lipophilic vitamin B derivative convertible to pantothenic acid, used for hair and skin conditioning

Creatine

Skin conditioning agent for moisturizing and anti-aging; used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Folic Acid

Folic acid, Vitamin B9, used for skin conditioning to support cellular metabolism

Tourmaline

Tourmaline mineral powder for viscosity control or tactile modification. Inert and non-irritating; manage dust inhalation risks during manufacturing.

Cordyceps Sinensis Extract

Cordyceps sinensis extract, medicinal herb; antioxidant, humectant, skin protector, control concentration.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Rhodochrosite

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Isopropyl Myristate

Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax

Beeswax-derived emulsifier, mild and biodegradable; offers emollience for sensitive formulations

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Xanthan Gum

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Polysorbate 60

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

Silica

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
