Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Protein

Sweet almond protein for conditioning; nut-derived, contraindicated for nut allergies.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract

Sweet almond extract, oils/phenolics for moisture/repair, low allergenicity but label nut origin

Juglans Regia Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Chlorphenesin

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Methylsilanol Mannuronate

Water-soluble silicone for anti-static and smoothness; chemically stable, no known allergenic data

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Sodium Metabisulfite

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Citric Acid

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

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
