Ingredients explained

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Butylene Glycol

Eau

Not decoded yet

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Vaccinium Myrtillus Leaf Extract

Blueberry leaf extract for astringency/conditioning; concentrates may be acidic.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Polyglyceryl-2 isostearate

Gentle emulsifier for O/W systems; sulfate-free, suitable for sensitive skin

Jojoba Seed Oil

Jojoba seed oil; ester-rich, skin-like emollient; low irritation potential.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Glycol Distearate

Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Bentonite

Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches

Isosteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Epilobium Fleischeri Extract

Botanical extract used primarily for skin conditioning, enhancing softness and appearance

Natto gum

Natto gum, film-forming; 0.1–0.5% typical, low irritation, low sensitization

Pueraria Lobata Root Extract

Kudzu root extract as humectant; contains isoflavones, limit dose due to endocrine activity.

Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract

Plant extract for antioxidant and soothing benefits; natural ingredient requiring batch consistency and allergy monitoring.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability

Honeysuckle Flower Extract

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
