Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*

Natural humectant and soothing agent; high water content requires preservation, batch variability and allergens possible.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Glycerin

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*

Shea butter providing occlusive moisture; standard comedogenic rating is 2, watch for clogging risk in combination formulas.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Sorbitan Caprylate

Non-ionic oil-soluble emulsifier for W/O systems at 1–5%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Xanthan Gum

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

Citric Acid

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

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water*

Bitter orange flower water for conditioning and fragrance; contains volatiles, may irritate sensitive skin at high levels.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
