Ingredients explained
- 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.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- C13-15 Alkane
- Mineral oil derivative as solvent and spreader; low irritation and allergen, ensure high purity free of carcinogens
- Echinacea Purpurea Root Extract
- Echinacea root extract for moisturizing/conditioning; differs from herb extract in active profile.
- Honey Extract
- Humectant and skin conditioning agent; hygroscopic, sensitive to pH.
- Propolis Extract
- Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.
- Royal Jelly Extract
- Royal jelly extract for skin conditioning; contains animal proteins, contraindicated for bee allergies
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate
- Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter
- Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.
- Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil
- Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.
- Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
- Light emollient oil with refined feel; low comedogenic, suitable for most skin.
- Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract
- Paeonia root extract, skin protecting agent with antioxidants to defend against environmental damage
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract
- Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract
- Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.
- Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract
- Ferment extract with amino acids and peptides for skin conditioning; monitor microbial stability and watch for allergens.
- Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract
- Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.
- Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract
- Imperata root extract; traditional TCM ingredient for skin conditioning. No public data on irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Viscum Album Leaf Extract
- Mistletoe leaf extract with soothing properties; combine with other ingredients, high conc may sensitize.
- Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract
- Eggplant fruit extract for skin conditioning; watch for batch consistency and potential allergenicity.
- Ocimum Basilicum Flower/Leaf Extract
- Basil extract; contains eugenol; tonic/antioxidant, potential allergen at high levels.
- Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract
- Coccinia indica fruit extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritation.
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer
- Film-forming conditioner for hair/skin protection; hydrophobic, pair with water phase
- Curcuma Longa Root Extract
- Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.
- Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract
- Extract for basic emollience; usually low-level, check extract solvent residues
- Corallina Officinalis Extract
- Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.
- Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract
- Holy basil leaf extract for conditioning; complex botanical, patch test recommended for compatibility
- Eclipta Prostrata Extract
- Eclipta prostrata extract used for antioxidant and hair coloring; water-soluble, low irritation and comedogenic risk at typical levels.

- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Sucrose Stearate
- Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Glyceryl Polyacrylate
- Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive
- Agar
- Natural polysaccharide gelling agent for thickening and suspension; may gel at high levels, avoid cationic systems
- Calcium Alginate
- Natural polysaccharide used as thickener and gel base; usually food-grade, but listed as fragrance here, verify supply chain origin.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Iron Oxide
- Inorganic oxide pigment for color; concentration is restricted in specific mixtures.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
