Ingredients explained

Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Water

Lotus flower water; botanical distillate for toning and minor nutrition; low irritancy, used as functional aqueous phase.

Butylene Glycol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Silica

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Niacinamide

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

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Methicone

Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Adenosine

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Alcohol

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

Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract

Bilberry fruit extract with polyphenols for soothing and skin protection, low concentration

Phenoxyethanol

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

Lavandula Angustifolia Extract

Lavender extract; regulating and calming. Contains linalool and other allergens, use with caution for sensitive skin.

Origanum Vulgare Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
