Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Butylene Glycol

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Centella Asiatica Extract

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

Citrus Junos Fruit Extract

Yuzu peel extract; provides antioxidants, low concentration reduces photosensitivity risk.

Alpha-Arbutin

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

Glycerin

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

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%.

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Nonapeptide-1

Nonapeptide-1 for hair/skin conditioning; enhances shine and strength, low irritation.

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Arginine

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

Ceramide NS

Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Phenylethyl Resorcinol

Phenylethyl resorcinol, antioxidant/whitening at 0.1–1%; inhibits tyrosinase, watch compatibility with high-dose VC.

3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

3-O-Ethyl ascorbate; water-soluble antioxidant, requires stabilization

Panthenol

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

Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid

Non-ionic buffer to adjust pH around 5.5; commonly used at 0.1–0.5%

Raspberry Ketone

Natural raspberry ketone; acts as fragrance and skin conditioning agent; often added in trace amounts for specific claims.

Diethoxyethyl Succinate

Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Dimethicone

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

Propanediol

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

Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems

Trisiloxane

Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Verbascum Thapsus Extract

Not decoded yet

PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether

Solvent and skin conditioning agent improving texture; contains PEG structure for solubilization

Xanthan Gum

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

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

Citrus Reticulata Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract containing photosensitizing compounds; handle with care to avoid photo-reactions, subject to EU restrictions.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid for skin brightening; generally mild at low external doses.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

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

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

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

Maltooligosyl Glucoside

Hydrophilic humectant and film former at 0.1–1%; low irritation, suitable for all skin types

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

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

Ceramide AS

Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.

Carnosine

Dipeptide skin conditioner with antioxidant and buffering properties; used in synergy with other actives.

Decarboxy Carnosine Hcl

Not decoded yet

Ectoin

Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Parfum

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

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data

Disodium EDTA

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine, potent antioxidant; 0.01–0.1%, water-soluble, synergizes with Vit C/E.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
