Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Jojoba Oil
- Liquid wax ester similar to sebum; good penetration as a base oil
- Cocoa Butter
- Not decoded yet
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Oat Beta-Glucan
- Not decoded yet
- Vitamin E Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Vitamin C
- L-ascorbic acid for antioxidant and brightening; pH <3.5 required; oxidation-prone, airless packaging needed
- Colloidal Oatmeal
- Colloidal oatmeal; absorbs oil, soothes, mild exfoliation; allergen filtering required, suits barrier repair
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Imidurea
- Small molecule urea derivative for potent humectancy at low levels.
- Methyl Paraben
- Effective water-soluble preservative; generally safe at low concentrations, may cause sensitivity in susceptible individuals.
- Propyl Paraben
- Not decoded yet
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
