Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- PEG-60 Glyceryl Isostearate
- Non-ionic solubilizer/emulsifier; high HLB, often paired with anionics, may increase penetration.
- PEG-6
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-32
- Not decoded yet
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
