Ingredients explained

Aqua (Water

Primary solvent; requires preservatives at high concentration; adjust viscosity with thickeners

Eau)

Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate

Cetearyl ester for emollience/stabilizing; light texture, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

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

Isononyl Isononanoate

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

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil Seed Oil)

Maypop seed oil, high in linoleic acid, moisturizing; prone to oxidation, add antioxidants; mild scent, suitable for sensitive skin.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Glycerin

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Steareth-2

Not decoded yet

Steareth-21

Not decoded yet

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Croton Lechleri Resin Extract

Resin extract for skin conditioning; monitor for sensitivity in reactive skin

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Polyglycerin-3

Not decoded yet

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Chlorphenesin

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

Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract

Plant extract for skin protection; contains antioxidants, may need stabilizers at high conc.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

O-Cymen-5-Ol

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

Acacia Decurrens Flower Cera

Acacia decurrens flower wax; emollient and film-forming; wax, pair with oils

Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera Seed Wax)

Plant-based seed wax for structure. Biodegradable and generally preferred over mineral waxes for acne-prone skin.

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract

Seaweed polysaccharide; film forming and moisturizing; provides gel texture; gentle.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Theobroma Cacao Seed Extract Seed Extract)

Not decoded yet

Tin Oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Citric Acid

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