Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Isostearyl Palmitate

Not decoded yet

Cetyl Ricinoleate

Plant-derived ester for emolliency and gloss; low irritancy and comedogenicity, suitable for dry skin.

Butylene Glycol

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Glyceryl Stearate

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

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Propanediol

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

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Sigesbeckia Orientalis Extract

Botanical skin conditioning and tonic agent; often used for antioxidant and repair benefits

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Centella Asiatica Extract

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

Pisum Sativum Extract

Pea extract, protein/antioxidant; skin protecting/conditioning, water-soluble, watch stability in acidic/enzymatic systems.

Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract

Roselle flower extract rich in anthocyanins, used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support

Bambusa Vulgaris Extract

Bamboo extract for soothing and conditioning; polyphenol-rich, limit concentration to minimize irritation.

Castanea Sativa Seed Extract

Tannin- and phytate-rich seed extract used as an antioxidant skin conditioner.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract

Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, source of resveratrol antioxidant; water or alcohol soluble, check color shift with iron ions

Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Cationic modified protein for hair conditioning; flocculates with anionic surfactants.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Oil

Citrus aurantium amara oil, essential oil, used as fragrance; contains sensitizing components such as limonene, easily sensitizing at high concentrations, sensitive skin should use cautiously.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract

Rosemary extract; antimicrobial; photo-toxic and allergen risks.

Micrococcus Lysate

Micrococcus ferment lysate with peptides/metabolites; low concentration skin conditioner, ensure sterile process.

Adenosine Phosphate

Not decoded yet

Arginine Ferulate

Not decoded yet

Creatine

Skin conditioning agent for moisturizing and anti-aging; used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Disodium Nadh

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Phospholipids

Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Yeast Extract / Faex / Extrait De Levure

Not decoded yet

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Sodium Rna

Not decoded yet

Propylene Glycol Dicaprate

Lightweight emollient ester; replaces mineral oils with non-greasy feel; good for oily skin systems

Acetyl Glucosamine

Glycosaminoglycan precursor supporting skin hydration and elasticity; highly biocompatible.

Hydroxyethyl Urea

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

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Helianthus Annuus Seedcake

Sunflower seed cake; physical exfoliant and bulking agent. Coarse texture, use caution for sensitive skin, requires homogenization.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate

New UV filter (UVA/UVB); EU limits 2.8%/1.4%, potential sensitizer, stability required

Glucosamine Hcl

Glucosamine hydrochloride for anti-static and hair conditioning; highly water-soluble, minimal skin irritation risk.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Lecithin

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Ptfe

PTFE as insoluble filler; inert and non-allergenic, but control particle size to avoid physical irritation

Ascorbyl Tocopheryl Maleate

Vitamin C/E derivative with strong antioxidant activity; aqueous-unstable, requires light protection and cold storage, 0.1–1%.

Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid

Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability

Hexylene Glycol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
