Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Butylene Glycol

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

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Sodium Stearate

Sodium stearate, soap-based anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; alkaline, caution for sensitive skin

Glycerin

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

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract

Imperata root extract; traditional TCM ingredient for skin conditioning. No public data on irritancy or comedogenicity.

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Trehalose

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

Malachite Extract

Botanical antioxidant extract; specific activity varies by extraction process.

Saccharomyces Lysate Extract

Yeast lysate humectant and conditioner; rich in amino acids and NMF, strong barrier repair

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Salicornia Herbacea Extract

Sea spinach extract rich in polysaccharides and minerals; primarily for soothing and skin conditioning.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Laminaria Saccharina Extract

Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Xanthan Gum

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Phenoxyethanol

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Linalool

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

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
