Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerol

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

DPG

Diethylenglycol butyl ether; humectant and solvent; potential allergen, test on sensitive skin.

Butylene Glycol

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

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

4-O-α-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol

Not decoded yet

PEG 400

Not decoded yet

Triisostearin

Polyglyceryl ester, emulsifier and thickener; no mineral oil, check viscosity.

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Erythritol

Polyol humectant with light feel; high hygroscopy, watch in dry climates.

PEG/PPG-14/7 dimethyl ether

Solvent and skin conditioning agent improving texture; contains PEG structure for solubilization

Xantham Gum

Natural thickener and stabilizer; gel former, watch compatibility with electrolytes to prevent clarification loss

Potassium ascorbyl tocopheryl phosphate

Stable water-soluble antioxidant; keep pH acidic, use chelators if metal ions present

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract

Herbal extract with flavonoids; skin conditioning agent, low photosensitization risk, potential irritation at high concentrations.

Sapindus mukorossi

Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract

Artemisia Princeps leaf extract containing volatile components; potential irritant risk, limit usage and patch test for sensitive skin.

Eriobotrya Japonica Leaf Extract

Loquat leaf extract; rich in flavonoids, high batch-to-batch variability

Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract

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

Magnesium chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Bupleurum Falcatum Root Extract

Arctic licorice root extract used for skin conditioning; a traditional botanical, monitor for potential plant sensitization.

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

KOH

vitamin E

Tocopherol antioxidant; >0.5% may need encapsulation or synergists to prevent oxidation.

Phenoxyethanol

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