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.
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Bees Wax
- Beeswax, strong occlusive and film-former, animal-derived, moderate allergen risk.
- PEG-40 Stearate
- Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract
- Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- 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.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract
- Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, source of resveratrol antioxidant; water or alcohol soluble, check color shift with iron ions
- Rosemary Leaf Extract
- Rosemary extract antioxidant/conditioning; contains EO, high conc. may sensitize
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract
- Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.
- Magnolia Kobus Bark Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract
- Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.
- Thujopsis Dolabrata Branch Extract
- Houtou Cypress branch extract for skin conditioning; plant extract, monitor batch variability and potential allergens.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
