Ingredients explained

Water

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

Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract

Carrot root extract with carotenoids; skin conditioning, low photosensitivity, may stain.

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Methylpropanediol

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

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Diethoxyethyl Succinate

Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Panthenol

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

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Undaria Pinnatifida Extract

Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Xanthan Gum

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Diphenyl Dimethicone

Silicone for emollience and antistatic; used in hair and skin care, check compatibility with other silicones

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for sensitive skin formulations

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil (20 Ppm

Carrot seed oil, rich in omega-6s; heavy texture, prone to oxidation, test for sensitive skin tolerance.

Beta-Carotene 0.3 Ng)

Plant-derived carotenoid pigment for orange hue; light-sensitive, may cause temporary skin staining.

Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract

Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining

Brassica Oleracea Capitata Leaf Extract

Cabbage leaf extract for skin conditioning; fresh material browning, freeze-dried powder more stable

Momordica Charantia Fruit Extract

Bitter melon fruit extract with saponins/polypeptides; skin/hair conditioner, monitor botanical batch variation.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Pogostemon Cablin Oil

Patchouli oil for fragrance; contains patchoulol, potential irritant/allergen, use cautiously.

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Lavandula Hybrida Oil

Essential oil for emollience and fragrance; contains allergens like linalool, requires EU 26 labeling

Salvia Officinalis Oil

Sage oil traditionally for tonic use; as essential oil, mind concentration and labeling.

Artemisia Vulgaris Oil

Wormwood oil, potent essential oil containing thujone; high allergen potential, must stay below threshold and be labeled

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Caprylyl Glycol

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