Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Butylene Glycol

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Spirulina Platensis Extract

Spirulina platensis extract; rich in phycocyanin; skin protector; dark color requires color management

Corallina Officinalis Extract

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

Boswellia Serrata Resin Extract

Boswellia serrata resin extract for smoothing and toning; resin allergenic risk, caution in sensitive skin

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Bis-Peg-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Polyglutamic Acid

Natural-derived polypeptide for hydration and skin conditioning; often used for long-lasting moisture

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract

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

Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract

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

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Artemisia Montana Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Vaccinium Corymbosum Fruit Extract

Blueberry fruit extract, antioxidant/astringent; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Menadione

Vitamin K; low-level coagulant and skin conditioner, labeled as fragrance may be mislabeling or stabilizer, confirm actual use

Polyglyceryl-10 Diisostearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for lotions; low irritancy, no strong sensitization data, concentration depends on formula, suitable for sensitive skin formulas.

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract

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

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

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

Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract

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.

Hydroxyethylcellulose

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

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Ceramide Np

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Disodium Edta

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Guaiazulene

Potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; blue powder, used in soothing formulas
