Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ceratonia Siliqua Gum
- Locust bean gum thickener/emulsifier; viscous at high levels, check batch consistency.
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract
- Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Charcoal Powder
- Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum
- Tamarind gum for emulsification & thickening; tacky at high levels
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- 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 Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Moroccan Lava Clay
- Not decoded yet
- Asparagus Officinalis Stem Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Calcium Gluconate
- Chelator and conditioner, improves stability; water-soluble calcium source
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Gluconolactone
- Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Biosaccharide Gum-4
- Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk
