Ingredients explained

Water

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Glycerin

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

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data

Cetyl Esters

Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Mango Seed Butter

Mango seed butter, a soft lipid with body-temperature melting point; provides smooth slip, moderate comedogenic rating.

Castor Seed Oil

High-viscosity emollient with strong occlusive properties; high comedogenic risk, limit use to lip care or low concentrations.

Coconut Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters

Coconut-derived polyglyceryl ester; acts as a mild natural emulsifier and emollient, suitable for sensitive skin.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

PEG-7 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone moisturizer, lightweight feel; common in oil-free formulas, may reduce occlusion at high levels.

Shea Butter

Natural butter providing emollient and occlusive moisturizing; used as emollient and emulsifier.

Tocopherol

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

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Argan Kernel Oil

Argan kernel oil for nourishing and occlusive moisturizing; vegetable oil, moderate comedogenicity (3-4), prone to oxidation

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids for nourishment and repair; heavy texture.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Hyaluronic Acid

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

Acacia Seyal Gum Extract

Natural plant gum humectant providing slip and film formation; high concentrations may affect rheology

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Disodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritating
