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
- Pumice
- Inorganic abrasive for physical exfoliation; particle size critical to avoid damage.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Bromelain
- Bromelain protease at 0.1–1% for gentle exfoliation; protein hydrolase, avoid long-term co-use with strong acids
- Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract
- Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Passiflora Edulis Seed Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Carthamus Tinctorius Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Fragrance *
- Fragrance for scent, may contain EU 26 allergens; assess allergy risk for sensitive individuals, concentration usually <1%.
- Limonene**
- Citrus fragrance ingredient; EU allergen 26, oxidizes easily.
