Ingredients explained
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
- Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas
- Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract
- Sea buckthorn fruit extract for skin conditioning; stable at low levels, check phototoxicity at high doses.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Propolis Extract
- Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Lauryl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; foaming and stabilizing. Eye irritation may exceed anionics, use low levels for sensitive skin.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Propylene Glycol Laurate
- Propylene glycol laurate; emollient and mild detergent; oil-soluble surfactant.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract
- Longleaf pine needle extract for toning; contains essential oils, allergen risk for sensitive skin.
- Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract
- Plant extract for basic skin conditioning; low usage, ensure raw material consistency
- Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract
- Evening primrose flower extract acting as an astringent; generally safe at standard formulation levels.
- Pueraria Lobata Root Extract
- Kudzu root extract as humectant; contains isoflavones, limit dose due to endocrine activity.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract
- Tea tree leaf extract for skin conditioning and perfuming; allergen risk requires dilution.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Artemisia Princeps Extract
- Artemisia extract, soothing and repair; 0.1–1% typical, data limited, low risk
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract
- Lotus flower extract containing magnolol, skin conditioner; botanical, low concentration use
- Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract
- Eggplant fruit extract for skin conditioning; watch for batch consistency and potential allergenicity.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract
- Hydrolyzed collagen fragments claimed for skin protection, weak evidence, low usage levels
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Beta-Glucan
- Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
- 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.
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
