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

Ethyl Hexanoate

Not decoded yet

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Dimethicone

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Niacinamide

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

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract

Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.

Prunella Vulgaris Extract

Not decoded yet

SH-Oligopeptide-2

Not decoded yet

SH-Polypeptide-11

Not decoded yet

SH-Oligopeptide-1

Synthetic short oligopeptide for skin conditioning; generally low irritancy and comedogenicity

Copper Tripeptide-1

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) for repair/anti-aging at 0.01–0.1%; water-soluble, avoid chelators.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Propolis Extract

Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

Madecassic Acid

Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage

Asiatic Acid

Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

PEG-100 Stearate

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

Panthenol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glycosyl Trehalose

Glycosylated trehalose to enhance skin tolerance and moisture retention; acts as a film former.

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Arginine

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Propanediol

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

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

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
