Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Glycerin

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Pentylene Glycol

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

PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate

PPG-3 benzyl ether myristate, emollient emulsifier; contains PEG-like structure, low viscosity solvent, check ionic compatibility.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Isosorbide Dicaprylate

Isosorbide dicaprylate; lightweight emollient improves roughness; low absorption, suitable for oily skin formulations.

Butyrospermum Parkii Oil

Classic occlusive emollient for dry/winter formulas; generally low comedogenicity.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Trehalose

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

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Butylene Glycol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Dimethicone Crosspolymer-3

Not decoded yet

Chlorphenesin

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

Ceteth-10 Phosphate

Sodium/salt of ceteth-10 phosphate, gentle surfactant/emulsifier for rinse-off products; test compatibility with cationics.

Dicetyl Phosphate

Emulsifier and auxiliary surfactant for stable lotions; used at low levels in creams.

Tocopherol

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

Hydrolyzed Algin

Hydrolyzed algin, water-soluble film former; boosts moisture retention, low viscosity contribution

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.

Chondrus Crispus Extract

Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sea Water

Natural ingredient with salts; acts as solvent or humectant, high salt content may feel gritty

Disodium EDTA

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

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Xanthan Gum

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

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Salvia Officinalis Oil

Sage oil traditionally for tonic use; as essential oil, mind concentration and labeling.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

Peptide actives for skin conditioning; typically used at low levels.

Tetradecyl Aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric Urea Trifluoroacetate

Complex peptide precursor for skin conditioning; limited public data, follow supplier dosage.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation

Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract

Camellia oleifera leaf extract containing tea polyphenols; acts as astringent and skin conditioner, monitor raw material consistency.

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Geranium Maculatum Oil

Botanical essential oil for fragrance and toning; contains allergens, caution for sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminohydroxybutyrate

Palmitoyl dipeptide derivative, often paired with carnosine for anti-glycation; skin conditioning and antioxidant.

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38

Palmitoyl tripeptide; signaling peptide for collagen and antioxidants; 0.1-1% typical, light-sensitive
