Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Isopentyldiol

Solvent at 1–10%; helps dissolve actives, fresh feel

Glyceryl Stearate

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Dimethicone

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

Octyldodecyl Myristate

Lightweight ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; acts as an emollient.

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Butylene Glycol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil

Light emollient oil with refined feel; low comedogenic, suitable for most skin.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Panthenol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

Hygroscopic starch for humidity control/filming; needs preservative, low comedogenicity.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Xanthan Gum

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

Trideceth-6

Not decoded yet

Hexyldecanol

Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Donkey Milk

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Beta-Glucan

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

Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract

Ferment extract with amino acids and peptides for skin conditioning; monitor microbial stability and watch for allergens.

Centella Asiatica Extract

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

Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract

Dioscorea root extract used for moisturizing and repairing, boosts hydration.

Tremella Fuciformis Extract

Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation
