Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Glycerin

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

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Stearyl Alcohol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate

Polyglyceryl ester emulsifier; mild, non-ionic, suitable for O/W emulsions with good stability.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract*

Not decoded yet

Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil*

Sea buckthorn oil rich in vitamins and lipid-soluble antioxidants; notable efficacy, high concentrations may cause orange discoloration, check compatibility.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Malpighia Glabra Fruit Juice*

Not decoded yet

Ubiquinone

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

Octyldodecyl Oleate

Ester lipid providing emollience and lubrication; acts as occlusive to reduce water loss with a non-greasy feel.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*

Lightweight seed oil rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid; suitable for sensitive skin, acts as emollient.

Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier derived from plant oils; gentle, used in O/W or W/O systems, low irritancy.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Levulinic Acid

Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.

Glyceryl Olivate

Not decoded yet

Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate

Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems

Limonene**

Citrus fragrance ingredient; EU allergen 26, oxidizes easily.

Sodium Anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Hydrogenated Rapeseed Alcohol

Not decoded yet

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Tocopherol

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Linalool**

Common fragrance ingredient, EU 26 allergen; declare if >0.05%, low photosensitivity

Citric Acid

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

Citronellol**

Citronellol, rose-flower fragrance; low allergenicity, common floral scent agent, poor photostability, store away from light.

Geraniol**

Allergen 26 fragrance; high sensitization potential, requires labeling and strict limit control.
