Ingredients explained

Water

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

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Butylene Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Apium Graveolens Extract

Not decoded yet

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Brassica Oleracea Capitata Leaf Extract

Cabbage leaf extract for skin conditioning; fresh material browning, freeze-dried powder more stable

Brassica Rapa Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit/Leaf/Stem Extract

Not decoded yet

Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract

Carrot root extract with carotenoids; skin conditioning, low photosensitivity, may stain.

Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract

Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit Extract

Antioxidant and astringent extract; contains enzymes and acids, mild irritation risk

Citrus Aurantifolia Fruit Extract

Lime fruit extract for skin conditioning; contains photosensitizing furocoumarins/allergens, limit concentration, avoid sun exposure.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Phellinus Linteus Extract

Phellinus linteus polysaccharide at 0.1–0.5% in water phase; boosts hydration, low allergenicity

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Glycerin

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Polysorbate

Not decoded yet

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Asparagine

Non-protein amino acid for humectancy and antistatic effect; water-soluble, slight odor at high levels, check compatibility.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Methionine

Sulfur-containing amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; often used in combinations with other amino acids.

Serine
