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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Stearyl Alcohol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data

Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Di-C12-13 Alkyl Malate

Esther emollient to improve texture and gloss; low concentration, low comedogenic risk, no specific compatibility issues.

Panthenol

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

PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether

Caprylyl ether solvent, foam booster; PEG derivative, note skin penetration

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Mentha Piperita Oil

Peppermint essential oil, strong cooling; highly irritating and sensitizing at high levels; dilute, avoid in sensitive skin.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Zea Mays Starch

Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control

Propanediol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Illicium Verum Fruit/Seed Oil

Star anise oil with anethole; strong fragrance and oral freshener, irritant at high levels.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil

Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Juniperus Virginiana Oil

Virginia juniper oil for fragrance/tonic; contains terpenes, irritant, control concentration.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Rosa Damascena Flower Extract

Rose damascena extract, fragrance/tonic; contains allergens (linalool, geraniol, etc.), labeling required in EU.

Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil

Botanical essential oil for fragrance; contains allergenic constituents, sensitive to reactive skin.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage

Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate

Lactobacillus ferment lysate for skin conditioning; provides soothing and hydration, low sensitization risk if sterile.

Ocimum Basilicum Oil

Essential oil for fragrance and tonic; contains allergens, use caution on sensitive skin.

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Glycine Max Seed Extract

Soybean extract for hair and skin conditioning and protection; contains plant proteins.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil

Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Viola Odorata Leaf Extract

Plant extract for light fragrance and conditioning; declare as fragrance source.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Houttuynia Cordata Extract

Houttuynia cordata extract for anti-inflammatory and soothing effects; contains volatile oils, patch test recommended for sensitive skin.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Polygonum Multiflorum Root Extract

Antioxidant root extract; caution advised for long-term application

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

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

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

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