Ingredients explained

Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract

Cherry blossom extract, 0.1-1% typical; low-irritation, patch-test for pollen/plant-allergy prone skin

Methylpropanediol

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

Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate

Lightweight emollient, low viscosity, refreshes skin feel, high compatibility.

Polysorbate 60

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Triethyl Citrate

Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract

Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.

Pinus Sylvestris Bud Extract

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Lecithin

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Sucrose Stearate

Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Polyphosphorylcholine Glycol Acrylate

Water-soluble film former and moisturizer; poor compatibility with cationic actives, potential allergen

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Octadecene

Octadecene, mineral oil fraction, thickener and emollient; mineral oil derived.

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer

Acrylate crosspolymer, high-molecular film former and thickener; 0.1-0.5% for gel structure; requires neutralization to activate

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Dimethicone

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