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

Glycerin

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

PEG-240/HDI Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether

PEG-modified polymer for light stabilization and thickening. PEG chain may cause irritation or sensitization.

Niacinamide

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

Copper Tripeptide-1

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) for repair/anti-aging at 0.01–0.1%; water-soluble, avoid chelators.

Malachite Extract

Botanical antioxidant extract; specific activity varies by extraction process.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Trehalose

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

Urea

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

Glyceryl polyacrylate

Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Algin

Seaweed-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, mind calcium ion compatibility

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Disodium phosphate

Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.

Potassium phosphate

pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions

Hydrolyzed roe

Not decoded yet

Glycosaminoglycans

Water-soluble polysaccharide film former delivering intense hydration and emollience; used in moisturizing and anti-aging formulations.

Glycogen

Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.

Propylene Glycol

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

Cestrum Latifolium Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Xanthan Gum

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

Saccharide Isomerate

Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract

Hydrolyzed plant peptides/polysaccharides for skin protection; no irritancy data, test stability

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Piper Methysticum Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Arginine

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

Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
