- Calendula Extract
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Hypericum Perforatum Extract
- St John's Wort extract with soothing/antimicrobial/antioxidant benefits; **high photosensitivity**, strict sun protection required after application.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- PEG-20 Sorbitan Cocoate
- O/W emulsifier and solubilizer in creams and cleansers; coconut fatty-acid ester, screen coconut allergy.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- PEG-240/Hdi Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether
- PEG-modified polymer for light stabilization and thickening. PEG chain may cause irritation or sensitization.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Hypericum Perforatum Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
- St. John's Wort extract. Highly photosensitizing due to hypericins. Strictly for night use or opaque packaging; avoid sun exposure.
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.
