Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil/Huile Minerale
- Mineral oil; inert occlusive, low allergen risk; comedogenicity depends on purity grade.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Bis-PEG/PPG-16/16 PEG/PPG-16/16 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone emulsifier/surfactant for silky feel and oil emulsification; contains PEG/PPG, caution for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic.
- Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Rhamnose
- Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.
- Fructooligosaccharides
- Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
- Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract
- Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid
- Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Ceramide 3
- Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Cetrimonium Bromide
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for hair products; antistatic, emulsifying, cleansing. Restricted in EU to 0.1% ocular. Incompatible with anionics.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
