Ingredients explained

Water

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

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Glycerin

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate

Neopentyl glycol diethylhexanoate emollient; ester oil, medium viscosity feel regulator, low comedogenicity.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl Ppg-20 Crosspolymer

Synthetic polymer for smooth feel and viscosity control; requires homogenization, compatible with silicones.

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Butylene Glycol

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

Honey

Humectant/emollient; contains sugars requiring preservation, contraindicated for bee product allergies.

Urea

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

Yeast Amino Acids

Yeast-derived soluble amino acid mix; potent humectant with small molecules for easy penetration, good for dry/damaged skin.

Trehalose

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

Inositol

Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin

Taurine

Taurine; buffering and chelating. Common in shampoos and eye washes, water-soluble.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Alaria Esculenta Extract

Alaria esculenta extract; alginates, 0.1–1%; film-forming and moisturizing; water phase, watch batch stability

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

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

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Hydrogenated Olive Oil

Hydrogenated olive oil for emollience and viscosity; potential comedogenic, caution for oily skin

Olive Fruit Oil

High-linoleic occlusive moisturizer; heavy texture, comedogenic risk for oily skin

Olive Oil Unsaponifiables

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Collagen Amino Acids

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides for hair and skin conditioning; low molecular weight aids moisturizing and conditioning, not direct collagen filling.

Watermelon Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Apple Fruit Extract

Polyphenol and fruit acid source; claims for antioxidant/exfoliation; monitor acid irritation.

Lentil Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Sodium Pca

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Zinc Gluconate

Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Chitosan

Chitosan film former and hair fixative; crustacean-derived, label as allergen, high concentrations may cause itching.

Propyl Gallate

Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Aminomethyl Propanol

pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Disodium Edta

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Chlorphenesin

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

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract

Chamomile extract used for soothing; check for potential sensitizing allergens.

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil

Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization

Lavender Oil

Lavender essential oil for fragrance; high allergen rate, concentration control needed.
