Ingredients explained
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention
- Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge
- Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.
- Sucrose Stearate
- Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.
- Sea Whip Extract
- Coral extract for skin conditioning; low usage, check source stability
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Helianthus Annuus Seedcake
- Sunflower seed cake; physical exfoliant and bulking agent. Coarse texture, use caution for sensitive skin, requires homogenization.
- Acetyl Glucosamine
- Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.
- Lactobacillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues
- Ppg-20 Methyl Glucose Ether
- Not decoded yet
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Propylene Glycol Dicaprate
- Lightweight emollient ester; replaces mineral oils with non-greasy feel; good for oily skin systems
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Bht
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Polyaminopropyl Biguanide
- Active preservative Polyaminopropyl Biguanide; effective at low levels, broad-spectrum, avoid anionic surfactants.
- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
- Green 5
- Coloring agent for green tones; use within regulatory limits, no specific incompatibilities.
- Blue 1
- Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits
