Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Dimethicone

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

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Butylene Glycol

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

Glyceryl Distearate

Glyceride emollient/anti-static; oil-soluble, enhances emulsion stability.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Cholesterol

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

Steareth-10

Not decoded yet

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Glycerin

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

Sodium Polyaspartate

Chelating agent and humectant, low irritation; improves surfactant performance in hard water.

Caffeine

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

Isocetyl Stearoyl Stearate

Diester oil for emollience; light texture, easy to solubilize.

Diethylhexyl Succinate

Succinyl diisobutyrate, lightweight emollient and solvent; good spread, non-comedogenic

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Extract

Cacao seed extract; polyphenols. Antioxidant and conditioning, hygroscopic, store in dry conditions.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter

Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Resveratrol

Potent polyphenol antioxidant <1%; light-sensitive, needs antioxidants/chelators

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Salicornia Herbacea Extract

Sea spinach extract rich in polysaccharides and minerals; primarily for soothing and skin conditioning.

Sea Salt\Maris Sal\Sel Marin

Not decoded yet

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Crithmum Maritimum Extract

Sea fennel extract with ocean peptides for repair and antioxidant; water-soluble, used at low concentrations as active support.

Whey Protein\Lactis Protein\Proteine Du Petit-Lait

Not decoded yet

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline

Lipid peptide for skin conditioning; mimics ceramide function for barrier repair, prone to crystallization

Lactobacillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues

Laminaria Digitata Extract

Seaweed extract for skin protection; moderate concentration to avoid osmotic irritation.

Lactoperoxidase

Not decoded yet

Glucose Oxidase

Not decoded yet

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Alcaligenes Polysaccharides

Bacterial polysaccharide; humectant and emulsion stabilizer; bio-based, low sensitization; verify batch consistency

Distearyldimonium Chloride

Cationic hair detangler; add with nonionics to reduce tack at high levels.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Trisiloxane

Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Hydrolyzed Algin

Hydrolyzed algin, water-soluble film former; boosts moisture retention, low viscosity contribution

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Trehalose

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Yeast Extract\Faex\Extrait De Levure

Yeast ferment filtrate rich in amino acids and peptides; used for repair and moisture, may cause sensitivity in some.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Propylene Glycol Caprylate

Not decoded yet

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
