Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate
- Mild anionic surfactant at 0.5–10%; fine foam, lower irritation than soaps, suitable for gentle cleansing.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate
- Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate
- Amino-acid based surfactant; gentle cleansing, emulsification and antimicrobial action
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Citrus Junos Peel Oil
- Citrus essential oil with astringent effect and fresh scent; contains phototoxic limonene, keep trace level in day creams.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.
- Ribose
- Ribose, humectant and skin conditioner; small molecule with high hygroscopicity, blend with other humectants.
- Poria Cocos Polysaccharide
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethylaminoethanol Tartrate
- Dimethylaminoethanol tartrate; pH adjuster, alkaline, requires precise concentration control.
- Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract
- Lotus flower extract for skin conditioning; no specific irritancy or comedogenic data, generally safe at standard use.
- Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Extract
- Flower extract for skin conditioning; assess allergenic potential.
- Glycogen
- Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers
