Ingredients explained
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- C18-38 Alkyl Hydroxystearoyl Stearate
- Fatty ester emollient for slip and spread. Non-ionic and low irritation; monitor for esters' impact on sensitive skin or microbiome.
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Caprylic-Capric-Triglyceride
- Light emollient enhancing feel; low occlusivity. Emulsifiable, prone to oxidation, store in dark.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract
- Glycyrrhiza inflata extract; soothes and anti-irritates. Use at 0.1-1%; monitor glycyrrhizin levels.
- Calcium Pantothenate
- Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Oenothera Biennis Oil
- Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- C20-40 Alkyl Stearate
- Long-chain ester for emolliency and thickening; 0.5–5% typical; hydrophobic, requires emulsification
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
