Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

SKIN CONDITIONING

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Sodium Acrylates Copolymer

Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Arbutin

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical use 1-2%, comply with EU restrictions on specific arbutins.

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Sulfite

Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.

Acetyl Tyrosine

Tyrosine derivative used in tanning or skin conditioning; acts as a precursor or modulator in formulas.

Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract

Active extract with saponins and flavonoids; gentle humectant and barrier repair ingredient

Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract

Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage

Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate

Stable Vitamin C derivative; water-soluble antioxidant and brightener, solubility pH-dependent

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Xanthan Gum

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

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
