Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

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

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Achillea Millefolium Extract

Yarrow extract; chrysogenic content for soothing; contains essential oil components, assess phototoxicity and allergens

Lactobionic Acid

Polyhydroxy acid for pH buffering; gentle, check stability at high levels

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Diisostearyl Malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Polyquaternium-10

Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Butylene Glycol

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract

Botanical fruit extract for skin conditioning; usually at low levels, act in synergy.

Orchid Extract

Orchid extract, moisturizing; efficacy varies by species, standardized extract preferred.

Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract

Camellia leaf extract providing skin conditioning and antioxidant support; gentle with no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract providing fragrance

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Glycine Max Polypeptide

Peptide activator; water-soluble, ideal for serums.
