Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil
- Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Sucrose Cocoate
- Non-ionic surfactant, gentle emulsifier, plant-derived, low comedogenic.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Salix Alba Bark Extract
- Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Mentha Piperita Oil
- Peppermint essential oil, strong cooling; highly irritating and sensitizing at high levels; dilute, avoid in sensitive skin.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
