Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice(70

Not decoded yet

000Ppm)

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Glycerin

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Mentha Rotundifolia Leaf Extract

Mentha rotundifolia leaf extract, often used for a refreshing feel; provides cooling and toning effects; contains menthol, high concentrations may irritate eyes and sensitive areas

Thymus Vulgaris Flower/Leaf Extract

Thymus vulgaris extract; thymol for antimicrobial/fragrance; high conc. irritating, avoid eye area for sensitive skin.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract

Evening primrose flower extract acting as an astringent; generally safe at standard formulation levels.

Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract

Longleaf pine needle extract for toning; contains essential oils, allergen risk for sensitive skin.

Pueraria Lobata Root Extract

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

Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract

Plant extract for basic skin conditioning; low usage, ensure raw material consistency

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

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

Melia Azadirachta Branch/Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.

Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract

Coccinia indica fruit extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritation.

Althaea Rosea Flower Extract

Extract for soothing care; contains mucilage, check microbial load and clarity impact

Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract

Extract for basic emollience; usually low-level, check extract solvent residues

Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract

Eggplant fruit extract for skin conditioning; watch for batch consistency and potential allergenicity.

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract

Holy basil leaf extract for conditioning; complex botanical, patch test recommended for compatibility

Corallina Officinalis Extract

Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Fructose

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Pentylene Glycol

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

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Cyanocobalamin

Vitamin B12 derivative, antioxidant and skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires light-protective packaging, water-soluble

Tocopherol

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

Xanthan Gum

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