Ingredients explained

Water

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Propanediol

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

Arginine

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

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Tulipa Gesneriana/Kaurmanniana Meristem Cell Lysate Filtrate Extract

Not decoded yet

Magnesium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan

Water-soluble beta-glucan derivative for hydration and barrier soothing; high bioactivity, stability in acidic/oxidizing env.

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.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

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%.

Panthenol

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

Avena Sativa Kernel Flour

Oat flour; physical exfoliant/absorbent; beta-glucan for soothing, control particle size.

Corallina Officinalis Extract

Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Balanites Aegyptiaca Fruit Extract

Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.

Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.

Ocimum Basilicum Flower/Leaf Extract

Basil extract; contains eugenol; tonic/antioxidant, potential allergen at high levels.

Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract

Holy basil leaf extract for conditioning; complex botanical, patch test recommended for compatibility

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium Gluconate

Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

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

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Phenethyl Alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Hamamelis Virginiana Water

Hamamelis water; tannins/flavonoids for astringent and soothing; low conc, generally well-tolerated

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
