Ingredients explained

Water

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Acetyl Glycyl Beta-Alanine

Not decoded yet

Niacinamide

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

Glycoproteins

Glycoproteins for hydration and conditioning; enhance skin barrier; verify source for vegan requirements.

Glycerine

Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.

Hydrolyzed Egg Shell Membrane

Not decoded yet

Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid for skin brightening; generally mild at low external doses.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Snail Secretion Filtrate

Snail secretion filtrate with moisturizing and repairing peptides; animal-derived, monitor purity and allergy risk

Glycerin

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

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Perfume

Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

Cationic hyaluronic acid, 0.1–1%; water-soluble thickener and conditioning agent.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Propanediol

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

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Zinc Pca

Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

Water-soluble cellulose thickener; foaming risk, often paired with polyols.

Protease

Protease for exfoliation; control pH and concentration to protect barrier, avoid strong acid/alkali.

Polysorbate 60

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Glycine Soja Germ Extract

Soy germ extract with proteins and lipids for hydration; soy is a common allergen, labeling required.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Ethyl Hexanediol

Polyol solvent with humectant and mild preservative boost; low viscosity, compatible with many ingredients, gentle.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Tris Citrate

TRIS Citrate buffer; high concentrations may irritate ocular mucosa.

Ethylhexyl-Glycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin, moisturizer/boosting agent; enhances preservation/moisture, gentle, often combined with humectants.

Polypeptide-1

Not decoded yet

Oligopeptide-1

Synthetic peptide for skin repair; small size allows permeation, limited clinical data.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hydrolyzed Albumen

Not decoded yet

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Alpha-Arbutin

Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids

Sorbitan Trioleate

W/O non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; moderate comedogenic risk.

Maltodextrin

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

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

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

Sodium Acetate

Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Hydrolyzed Algin

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

Hydrolyzed Elastin

Hydrolyzed elastin, moisturizer; MW determines penetration, large MW surface conditioning.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan

Modified glucan for thickening and cleansing aid; low irritation, suitable for most formulas

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

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

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder

Zinc Sulfate

Antimicrobial and astringent, restricted in oral care; <1% topical, metallic taste, avoid mixing with amino acids

Apium Graveolens Seed Extract
