Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cyclomethicone
- Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026
- Dipropylene glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Octyl Methoxycinnamate
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitan isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- PEG-crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Maltitol
- Sugar alcohol humectant and emollient; tacky at high levels, limit load.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Hydrogenated lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- 1,3 Butylene Glycol
- 1,3-Butylene glycol humectant and solvent; low irritancy, regulates viscosity and penetration.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Agar
- Natural polysaccharide gelling agent for thickening and suspension; may gel at high levels, avoid cationic systems
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Dibutylhydroxytoluene
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Paraben
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Iron Oxide
- Inorganic oxide pigment for color; concentration is restricted in specific mixtures.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
