Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Mandelic Acid

Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Succinic Acid

Dicarboxylic acid used as a buffer and natural metabolite; slight flavoring effect, low irritation

Salicylic Acid

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Phenoxyethanol

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

Tranexamic Acid

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Panthenol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Saccharum Officinarum Extract

Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.

Disodium EDTA

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

Aloe Barbadensis Extract

Standardized aloe extract. Soothing and moisturizing; verify anthraquinone (allergen) removal. High purity usually well-tolerated.

Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract

Centella asiatica extract for repair and soothing; contains asiaticoside, good for barrier

Triethylene Glycol

Polyol viscosity regulator and fragrance carrier at 5-15%; avoid excessive stacking with other glycols to manage viscosity.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Acer Saccharum Extract

Maple extract; NMF/AA source; gentle humectant, no public irritant/comedogenic data

Artemisia Vulgaris Extract

Herbal extract rich in volatile essential oils for skin conditioning; check sensitization potential at high levels

Citric Acid

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
