Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua

Water as base solvent; no irritation, requires microbial control.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Ethyl Trisiloxane

Low-volatility silicone fluid; light texture, rapid film formation

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.

Butylene Glycol

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

Coconut Alkanes

Coconut alkanes as solvents/emollients with medium volatility; check oxidation stability.

Bellis Perennis Flower Extract

Daisy flower extract, traditional conditioner at low levels; botanical, potential pollen allergen risk

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Dimethicone

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

Benzimidazole Diamond Amidoethyl Urea Carbamoyl Propyl Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Modified polysiloxane carrier for pigment dispersion in opaque color cosmetics; hydrophobic, needs emulsification support

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract

Coconut fruit extract at 0.1–5%; moisturizing, caution for oily skin at high levels

Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract

Lemon balm extract for soothing; volatile oils, low allergy risk, light sensitive.

Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc

Panthenol

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

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract

Enantia chlorantha bark; traditional African herb for skin. Very limited data; require supplier safety dossier.

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Phytosteryl Canola Glycerides

Phytosterol canola glycerides, support barrier repair and moisture, stabilize lipid membrane

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Phenethyl Alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Glycerin

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Tocopherol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Triolein

Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Disodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.

Sodium Citrate

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

Oleanolic Acid

Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Phenoxyethanol

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

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Linalool

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
