Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Alpha-Arbutin

Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids

Niacinamide

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

Methylpropanediol

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

Licorice Extract

Contains glycyrrhizin and glabridin for soothing and pigmentation inhibition; manage light sensitivity and concentration limits

Glyserin

Not decoded yet

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Carboxymethyl Hyaluronate

Low-MW sodium hyaluronate; strong humectant and skin conditioner, often in blends.

Dimethylsilanol Hyaluronate

Silicone-modified HA, moisturizing/plumping 0.1-2%; smooth, non-tacky

Marine Collagen

Not decoded yet

Soluble Collagen

Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

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%.

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

Cationic hyaluronic acid, 0.1–1%; water-soluble thickener and conditioning agent.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Potassium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic salt, excellent humectant; efficacy varies with MW, best with occlusive base

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Phenoxyethanol

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

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Polysorbate 20

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

Tocopherol Acetate

Tocopherol acetate antioxidant at 0.1–0.5%; oxidizes in biphasic systems, pair with BHT or nitrogen

1,2-Hexanediol

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

DMDM Hydantoin

Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
