Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Hydroxyethyl Urea
- Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care
- 1,3 Butylene glycol
- 1,3-Butylene glycol humectant and solvent; low irritancy, regulates viscosity and penetration.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate
- Not decoded yet
- Vinyl Pyrrolidone Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Glyceryl Glucoside
- Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Avena Strigosa Seed Extract
- Oat seed extract; rich in beta-glucan; hydration and sensitive skin soothing; water-soluble barrier repair
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Aphanothece Sacrum Polysaccharide
- Red algae polysaccharide for thickening and emulsion stability; biodegradable, monitor gel strength
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Cocos Nucifera Water
- Coconut water/base; acts as solvent and fragrance component, contains sugars requiring preservatives.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Acrylates Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Ci 42053
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Ifra Certified Allergen Free Fragrance
- Not decoded yet
