Ingredients explained
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-1
- Not decoded yet
- Acetylated Glycol Stearate
- Oil emulsifier/stabilizer and emollient at 0.5–5%; provides silky feel and enhances emulsion stability.
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer
- Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system
- Myristyl Myristate
- Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Mangifera Indica Seed Butter
- Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.
- Hypnea Musciformis Extract
- Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Laminaria Saccharina Extract
- Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination
- Gelidiella Acerosa Extract
- Gelidiella acerosa (seaweed) extract; complex matrix, screen for heavy metals
- Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
- Algae extract for skin conditioning and antioxidant; typically 1-5%, monitor stability
- Centaurium Erythraea Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Yeast Extract\Faex\Extrait De Levure
- Yeast ferment filtrate rich in amino acids and peptides; used for repair and moisture, may cause sensitivity in some.
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Ceramide 3
- Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Stable Vitamin C derivative; water-soluble antioxidant and brightener, solubility pH-dependent
- Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness
- Alcaligenes Polysaccharides
- Bacterial polysaccharide; humectant and emulsion stabilizer; bio-based, low sensitization; verify batch consistency
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
- Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Rhodochrosite
- Not decoded yet
- Beeswax\Cera Alba\Cire D'Abeille
- Not decoded yet
- Diamond Powder
- Diamond powder as abrasive; high hardness, check particle uniformity
- Laureth-9
- Not decoded yet
- Laureth-23
- Not decoded yet
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Silica Silylate
- Silylate silica for anticaking, defoaming, emulsion stabilization, film-forming; improves powder flow/texture
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Calcium Chloride
- Cross-linker and viscosity controller for gels; astringent at high levels, check skin tolerance
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Potassium Nitrate
- Oral care agent for whitening/desensitization; oxidizing, avoid reducing agents/phenols.
- Potassium Phosphate
- pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
