Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Bulbine Frutescens Leaf Juice
- Bulbine leaf juice; soothing/humectant, high spoilage risk, higher allergenicity than pure aloe
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Enteromorpha Compressa Extract
- Compressed Ulva extract, skin protector; watch microbe/heavy-metal QC on algal extracts.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate
- Polyglyceryl-10 stearate emulsifier; multi-source, mild, co-emulsifier
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- 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
- Sucrose Cocoate
- Non-ionic surfactant, gentle emulsifier, plant-derived, low comedogenic.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.
- Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
- Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability
- Chondrus Crispus Extract
- Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
