Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Panthenyl Triacetate
- Panthenyl triacetate, antistatic and hair conditioning; hydrolyzes to panthenol
- Ethyl Linoleate
- Fatty acid ester emollient for dryness; prone to oxidation, requires light protection.
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Linoleic Acid
- Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
- Linolenic Acid
- Omega-6 fatty acid for barrier repair; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants and low light exposure
- Oleic Acid
- Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration
- Ceramide NS
- Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Methyl Cyclodextrin
- Not decoded yet
- 7-Dehydrocholesterol
- Cholesterol derivative for barrier repair and emulsion stability, watch concentration and light exposure.
- Glycolipids
- Cell membrane lipids mimicking skin barrier structure; used in repair formulations and biomimetic membranes
- Glycine Soja Sterols
- Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin
- Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract
- Perilla leaf extract containing perillal, providing fragrance and mild soothing effects.
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polymnia Sonchifolia Root Juice
- Jerusalem artichoke root juice, rich in polysaccharides, moisturiser; natural, prone to spoilage, needs preservatives
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Ornithine
- Amino acid derivative for keratolytic and humectant effects; used at low levels, minimal irritation
- Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate
- Yeast fermentation lysate filtrate rich in bioactive molecules for skin conditioning and hydration; assess allergenicity for sensitive skin.
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Lactobacillus
- Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Inulin Lauryl Carbamate
- Modified inulin surfactant, mild emulsification/cleansing; prebiotic, reduced irritation
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Lauryl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol for emulsifying and thickening; low comedogenic, mild irritation possible on dry sensitive skin.
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- P-Anisic Acid
- Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Myristyl Alcohol
- Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Oleyl Alcohol
- Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
