Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Propanediol

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

Niacinamide

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf

Aloe leaf extract mainly as fragrance; watch essential oil allergens

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Glycerin

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

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Phenoxyethanol

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

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

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

Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment Extract

Not decoded yet

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Propylene Glycol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

o-Cymen-5-ol

Antioxidant and antimicrobial; low levels for preservation; irritating at high concentrations, restricted use.

Algae Extract

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

PVM/ma copolymer

Film former at 1–5%; for styling/hair care, provides lasting effect

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Aphanothece Sacrum Polysaccharide

Red algae polysaccharide for thickening and emulsion stability; biodegradable, monitor gel strength

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
