Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides
- Common lightweight ester oil; pleasant skin feel, high biocompatibility for moisturizing bases.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Caviar Extract
- Caviar extract; protein/lipid repair and antioxidant, animal-derived, manage odor and microbial load
- Retinol
- Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated
- Acetyl Tyrosine
- Tyrosine derivative used in tanning or skin conditioning; acts as a precursor or modulator in formulas.
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein
- Peptide conditioning agent; control pH to prevent degradation, used in hair and skin care.
- Adenosine Triphosphate
- ATP for skin conditioning, repair concept; stability in aqueous phase is a concern.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Bis-PEG/PPG-20/5 PEG/PPG-20/5 Dimethicone
- Non-ionic silicone emulsifier for stabilizing emulsions; provides a silky texture.
- Methoxy PEG/PPG-25/4 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone emulsifier combining emollience and emulsification to adjust product texture.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- BHA
- Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); oil-phase antioxidant. Use <0.05%. Controversial at high levels.
- Triethylene Glycol
- Polyol viscosity regulator and fragrance carrier at 5-15%; avoid excessive stacking with other glycols to manage viscosity.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
