Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract

Licorice root; anti-inflammatory/whitening, contains glycyrrhizin, caution for pollen-allergic individuals.

Propanediol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Betaine

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract

Peony root extract for moisture and conditioning; plant-derived, low allergenicity

Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract

Lotus flower extract for skin conditioning; no specific irritancy or comedogenic data, generally safe at standard use.

Polygonatum Officinale Rhizome/Root Extract

Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent

Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract

Lilium candidum bulb extract; polysaccharide-rich skin conditioner; generally mild, check plant protein allergens

Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract

Traditional medicinal root extract for skin conditioning; verify compatibility, patch test for sensitive skin.

Honey / Mel / Miel

Humectant/conditioner, viscous at high levels, hygroscopic and freezes at low temp, bee allergen risk

Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract

Botanical humectant; soothing; requires preservative; high-concentration allergen risk.

Juglans Regia Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Zizyphus Jujuba Fruit Extract

Jujube extract for hydration and antioxidant, natural source

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Natto Gum

Natto gum, film-forming; 0.1–0.5% typical, low irritation, low sensitization

PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer

Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

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

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Theobroma Cacao Extract

Cacao extract providing antioxidants and conditioning, aids skin elasticity.

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

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Disodium EDTA

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
