Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrogenated Poly
- Hydrogenated poly C6-14 olefins, saturated oil; occlusive, low permeability
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Light diester emollient, light and non-greasy; often used as solvent; oxidizes easily, needs antioxidants.
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil, palmitoleic-rich emollient for long-lasting feel; high loads may be heavy
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Cyclomethicone
- Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Stearyl Behenate
- Not decoded yet
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Green Tea Extract
- Green tea extract rich in EGCG; antioxidant, high concentration may cause sensitization
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- PEG/PPG-20/15 Dimethicone
- Silicone and PEG/PPG copolymer; emulsifier or dispersant aiding silicone dispersion, note PEG allergenicity.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone for gloss and slip; low irritation at typical cosmetic levels
- Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA
- Bio-inspired lipid emulsifier/conditioner providing smooth feel; ester-based surfactant.
- Mugwort Extract
- Mugwort extract for herbal concept or mild soothing; unstandardized, watch for protein-induced sensitization at high levels.
- Gentian Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Arnica Flower Extract
- Arnica flower extract, traditionally used for muscle soothing; contains esters, may irritate sensitive skin, avoid on broken skin.
- Yarrow Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Inulin Lauryl Carbamate
- Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
