Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua
- Water as base solvent; no irritation, requires microbial control.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Gold
- Gold in nano or microparticle form, for coloring and slip; usage restricted by regulations
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Algae
- Not decoded yet
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers
- Sh-Oligopeptide-1
- Synthetic short oligopeptide for skin conditioning; generally low irritancy and comedogenicity
- Dimethyl Mea
- Dimethyl ethylenediamine, weak base buffer; adjusts pH to slightly acidic, strict concentration control
- Thioctic Acid
- Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives
- Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract
- Vigna aconitifolia seed extract; botanical conditioner; limited data, use at low levels
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- 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
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
