Ingredients explained

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Butylene Glycol

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

PEG-6

Not decoded yet

Alpha-Arbutin

Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract

Cell-culture apple extract for antioxidant skin conditioning

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate

Water-soluble retinoate ester; gentler metabolism booster than retinol, stable, suitable for sensitive users at low levels

Chondrus Crispus Extract

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

Lavandula Angustifolia Extract

Lavender extract; regulating and calming. Contains linalool and other allergens, use with caution for sensitive skin.

Pelargonium Graveolens Extract

Pelargonium extract for fragrance and skin conditioning; contains essential oil components, requires allergen labeling.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract

Rosemary extract; antimicrobial; photo-toxic and allergen risks.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Pinus Sylvestris Extract

Not decoded yet

Thymus Zygis Extract

Not decoded yet

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Polysorbate 20

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate

Stable Vitamin C derivative; water-soluble antioxidant and brightener, solubility pH-dependent

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Tocopherol

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

Triethanolamine

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Glycerin

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

Polysorbate 60

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

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Disodium EDTA

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

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Xanthan Gum

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

Linalool

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

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
