Ingredients explained

Water

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

Decyl Glucoside

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

Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Propanediol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract

Ferment extract with amino acids and peptides for skin conditioning; monitor microbial stability and watch for allergens.

Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract

Dioscorea root extract used for moisturizing and repairing, boosts hydration.

Centella Asiatica Extract

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

Ficus Carica Fruit Extract

Fig fruit extract, humectant with polysaccharides and enzymes for skin moisturizing

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract

Eclipta prostrata leaf extract; polyphenols, 0.1–1%; antioxidant and soothing, stable in water, batch color variability

Tremella Fuciformis Extract

Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation

Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract

Plant extract for basic skin conditioning; low usage, ensure raw material consistency

Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract

Amaranthus caudatus seed extract, skin conditioner; plant extract, focus on extract concentration and allergen screening.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

C12-14 Pareth-12

Not decoded yet

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Polyglyceryl-3 Cocoate

Non-ionic emulsifier from coconut fatty acids, gentle, used in O/W or W/O systems at 1-5%, requires pH adjustment.

Polyglyceryl-6 Ricinoleate

Non-ionic emulsifier from castor oil, strong emulsification and solubilization, used in creams at 1-5%, gentle.

Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate

Gentle emulsifier for O/W systems; refreshing feel, good biodegradability

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Betaine

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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