Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil
- Mineral oil, occlusive emollient. Inert and stable; potential for comedogenicity, caution for oily/acne skin.
- Myristyl Myristate
- Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.
- Shorea Robusta Butter/Shorea Robusta Seed Butter
- Not decoded yet
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Cera Alba / Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural wax providing occlusive moisturization and structure; animal-derived, banned in vegan/animal-free products, mild allergen risk.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-20 Stearate
- PEG-20 stearate emulsifier/cleanser, 0.5–2%; PEG-class potential allergen/dioxane residue risk.
- Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer
- Polyacrylamide-based thickener with strong emulsion stabilizing power; strict control of residual monomer levels is required.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Glycine Soja Protein/Soybean Protein
- Soybean protein for moisturizing; contains allergens, use caution in sensitive skin
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Acrylonitrile
- Toxic, sensitizer monomer; strictly prohibited in cosmetics (Appendix II). Supplier COA must verify low/unpolymerized monomer levels.
- Methyl Methacrylate
- Not decoded yet
- Vinylidene Chloride Copolymer
- Thickener, film former, adhesive; used in lipsticks or gels. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential irritancy.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Acetyl Trifluoromethylphenyl Valylglycine
- Peptide active for collagen support; requires aqueous stability, use cold-process
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.
- Chlorhexidine Digluconate
- Antimicrobial agent often in oral care or antiseptics; residual odor noted; long-term use may cause resistance or sensitivity.
- Sorbitan Oleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Isobutane
- Propellant for aerosol products, flammable; store and transport away from fire sources
- Phenethyl Alcohol
- Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Myristyl Alcohol
- Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
