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.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer
- Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- PEG-32
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- < Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
- Not decoded yet
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Spice
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water
- Aloe juice, humectant and fragrance; perishable, requires preservatives, prone to browning.
- Carrot Extract
- Carrot extract, beta-carotene source for color/antioxidant; oil-soluble, needs emulsification, color unstable
- Pumpkin Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Lavender Extract
- Lavender extract; contains linalool, aromatic, high concentration may irritate
- Monarda Didyma Leaf Extract
- Bee balm leaf extract with menthol; cooling effect, high concentration may irritate sensitive skin

- Water-soluble botanical extract acting as humectant for oral or facial care; evaluate for potential natural allergens in the extract.
- Tea Tree Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract
- Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin
- Cactus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies
- Malt Extract
- Malt extract with sugars and polyphenols for skin protection; high sugar content requires preservative synergy
- Gluconolactone
- Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.
