Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Sd Alcohol 40-B

Denatured solvent for fragrance/oil dilution, contains trace isopropyl thiol (sensitizer), irritating at high levels

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone

Phenyl trimethicone for anti-foaming and slip; silicone-based, silky feel

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Phytosteryl Macadamiate

Phytosteryl macadamiate for hair and skin care; good occlusion

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Microcrystalline Wax

Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether

Solvent and skin conditioning agent improving texture; contains PEG structure for solubilization

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Dimethylacrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Crosspolymer

Acrylate crosspolymer, high-efficiency thickener and suspending agent; non-ionic, compatible with most actives, gel strength depends on crosslinking

Polysorbate 60

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

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Sorbitan Tristearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for lotions; pairs with water-soluble surfactants.

Disodium EDTA

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Stable Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant protection; pH control needed for high doses.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Butylene Glycol

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

Sodium Metaphosphate

Sodium metaphosphate; buffer and chelating agent; good water solubility, strongly alkaline, precise dosing required

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Oryzanol

Rice-bran antioxidant for skin conditioning and sebum balance

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate

Yeast fermentation lysate filtrate rich in bioactive molecules for skin conditioning and hydration; assess allergenicity for sensitive skin.

Crataegus Monogyna Flower Extract

Not decoded yet

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract

Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage

Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract

Chinese herb extract used as a traditional tonic and skin conditioner.

Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract

Cinnamon bark for hair and fragrance; some allergens require labeling; watch oral dosage.

Bupleurum Falcatum Root Extract

Arctic licorice root extract used for skin conditioning; a traditional botanical, monitor for potential plant sensitization.
