Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Gluconolactone 8.0%

8.0% Gluconolactone, PHA mild exfoliant and humectant, sensitive-skin friendly

Lactobionic Acid 4.0%

4.0% Lactobionic acid, PHA for gentle exfoliation and humectancy

Propylene Glycol

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

Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate

Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens

Glycerin

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

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Arginine

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

C12-15 Alkyl Ethylhexanoate

Blended ester emollient; dry-touch, non-greasy finish, non-comedogenic, ideal for oily skin.

Ethoxydiglycol

Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load

Glycol Distearate

Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Octyldodecyl Myristate

Lightweight ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; acts as an emollient.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

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

Dimethylpolysiloxane

Dimethicone, silicone providing slip and occlusion; non-comedogenic

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Caprylic/Capric/Stearic Triglyceride

Caprylic/capric/stearic triglyceride, low-comedogenic emollient

Sodium Bisulfite

Reducing agent and preservative in hair waving/straightening; irritating; restricted use

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Steareth-2

Not decoded yet

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Xanthan Gum

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

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

Butylparaben

Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Isobutylparaben

Paraben preservative; used in combination, restricted usage

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Chlorphenesin

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