Ingredients explained

Water

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Urea

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

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Propanediol

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Myristoyl/Palmitoyl Oxostearamide/Arachamide Mea

Emollient for hair and skin smoothing; high levels may be comedogenic

C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for thickening and stability; silicone-based, provides emollience, non-comedogenic, used in powders.

Cocoglycerides

Coco-glycerides act as emulsifiers and skin conditioning agents; gentle, often used in soap-free formulations.

Viscum Album Fruit Extract

Mistletoe fruit extract, soothing and anti-inflammatory; check tolerance for sensitive skin.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer enhancing conditioning agent deposition on hair; improves detangling and antistatic properties.

Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate

Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Xanthan Gum

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

Methyl Caprooyl Tyrosinate

Tyrosine derivative for antioxidant/skin protection; low irritancy at trace levels

Bisabolol

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Signal peptide promoting collagen synthesis; effective at low concentration, needs penetration enhancers or encapsulation

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Tropolone

Natural phenolic compound used as a skin conditioner; strong antioxidant activity, often a fragrance alternative.
