Ingredients explained

Water

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Dimethyl Isosorbide

Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Propanediol

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

Arachidyl Alcohol

Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams

Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine

Synthetic peptide emollient regulating sebum and hydration; low comedogenic, used in acne-prone and oily skin formulas.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Octadecenedioic Acid

Unsaturated dicarboxylic acid for thickening and rheology; used as gel or emulsion thickener, low irritation

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Peg-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Arachidyl Glucoside

Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates

Phenylethyl Resorcinol

Phenylethyl resorcinol, antioxidant/whitening at 0.1–1%; inhibits tyrosinase, watch compatibility with high-dose VC.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate

Synthetic antioxidant (Chromanol) for potent anti-photoaging; used under 1% to stabilize lipid antioxidants.

Xanthan Gum

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

Chlorphenesin

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

Disodium Edta

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Dextran

Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.

Nonapeptide-1

Nonapeptide-1 for hair/skin conditioning; enhances shine and strength, low irritation.
