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
- Isotridecyl Isononanoate
- Light, dry ester for emulsions; low comedogenicity, suitable for oily/sensitive skin formulas as a light oil alternative.
- Maltitol
- Sugar alcohol humectant and emollient; tacky at high levels, limit load.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- Triethylhexanoin
- Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- C10-18 Triglycerides
- Mixture of C10-18 triglycerides for emolliency, conditioning, and solvency; low comedogenic risk but occlusive.
- Lathyrus Odoratus Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Malva Sylvestris Flower Extract
- Botanical for skin conditioning and soothing; high levels of crude extracts may sensitize.
- Sphingolipids
- Biomimetic membrane lipids for repairing skin barrier and stratum corneum; highly effective for barrier impairment
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
- Signal peptide promoting collagen synthesis; effective at low concentration, needs penetration enhancers or encapsulation
- Glycogen
- Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
- Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate
- Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.
- Dipentaerythrityl Tetrahydroxystearate/Tetraisostearate
- Polyol ester thickener/conditioner, 2–5%; high oil phase, suitable for pastes/creams.
- Phytosteryl Isostearate
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Potassium Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
