Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Ethyl ascorbic acid, lipophilic Vit C derivative, antioxidant/whitening; more stable than L-AA, for oil phases
- Dimethyl Isosorbide
- Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Beta-Glucan
- Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- EDTA
- Chelating agent for stability; use metal salts, keep concentration low (<0.1%) to maintain pH.
- Dextran
- Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.
- Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2
- Not decoded yet
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
