Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- 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.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Sorbitan Oleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- PEG-12 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
- Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate/Succinate
- Not decoded yet
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Cichorium Intybus Root Extract
- Chicory root extract with fragrance and skin-conditioning roles; plant-derived, confirm extraction process.
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Glyceryl Linoleate
- Glyceryl linoleate; emulsifier and emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Glycine Max Polypeptide
- Peptide activator; water-soluble, ideal for serums.
- Glyceryl Linolenate
- Emollient/moisturizer; potential allergen, caution in sensitive skin
- Phosphatidylcholine
- Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 Amide
- Not decoded yet
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Glyceryl Palmitate
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- PEG-8 Methyl Ether Dimethicone
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
