Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isostearic Acid
- Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Cocos Nucifera Water
- Coconut water/base; acts as solvent and fragrance component, contains sugars requiring preservatives.
- Iris Pallida Leaf Cell Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract
- Ascophyllum nodosum extract, provides hydration and antioxidant protection; usually low concentration as natural functional additive.
- Rosa Damascena Leaf Cell Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Phytic Acid
- Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77492
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
