Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Methyl Methacrylate/PEG/PPG-4/3 Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract

Albizia bark extract; natural fragrance and conditioner, scent may need masking

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38

Palmitoyl tripeptide; signaling peptide for collagen and antioxidants; 0.1-1% typical, light-sensitive

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

Dipeptide skin conditioner for moisturizing and repair; low concentration, minimal irritation or comedogenic risk.

Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside

Tea polyphenol analog; antioxidant & skin conditioning

Gallyl Glucoside

Gallate-derived glucoside as antioxidant and skin conditioner; use at low levels, avoid acidic matrix incompatibility.

Darutoside

Darutoside peptide; skin conditioning/firming agent; use per supplier specs at low ppm levels.

Aminobutyric Acid

GABA for hair hydration and shine, low irritation, acts as a conditioner.

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract

Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.

Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract

Ascophyllum nodosum extract, provides hydration and antioxidant protection; usually low concentration as natural functional additive.

Asparagopsis Armata Extract

Not decoded yet

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Lecithin

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

Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil

Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Propyl Gallate

Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Cetearyl Isononanoate

Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Ceteareth-12

Not decoded yet

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Benzyl Alcohol

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Dehydroacetic Acid

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
