Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Niacinamide

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Glycerin

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

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

SKIN CONDITIONING

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol; antioxidant and conditioning. Often an A-alternative, prone to oxidation and color shift, needs stabilization.

Chrysanthemum Parthenium Flower Extract

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Butylene Glycol

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

PEG-75 Stearate

PEG-75 stearate, non-ionic emulsifier/thickener; PEG-based, check for 1,4-dioxane limits, not used in some markets.

Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract

Silybum marianum fruit extract (milk thistle). Antioxidant. Contains alkaloids/terpenes; rare cross-allergenicity with grass/pollen families.

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Bisabolol

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Caffeine

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

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Phosphatidylcholine

Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8

Palmitoyl tripeptide-8 signaling peptide; 0.1–1%, aqueous stability watch

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Potassium Chloride

Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Quaternium-90 Bentonite

Modified clay for high-viscosity gels and powder suspensions; excessive use causes heavy texture

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Disodium EDTA

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

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Perfluorodecalin

Perfluorodecalin, hydrophobic solvent and glossing agent; used in haircare or dry shampoo, insoluble in water, control usage to avoid greasiness

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Avena Sativa Kernel Extract

Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Maltodextrin

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

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Dextran

Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ci 77289

Synthetic color lake, green pigment; EU Restriction IV/130, not for ophthalmic products, may cause photosensitivity or staining

Ci 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
