Ingredients explained

Phyllostachys Nigra Extract

Not decoded yet

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

Isopropyl Myristate

Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin

Kaolin

Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Copernicia Cerifera Wax

High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog

Sucrose Palmitate

Succrose ester for gentle emulsification/cleansing; biodegradable, low comedogenicity.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Glyceryl Rosinate

Film former and fixative, 0.1–0.5%; prone to oxidation and yellowing, add antioxidants

Galactoarabinan

Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.

Potassium Palmitoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Cationic conditioner for hair and skin; wheat protein source, potential allergen.

Tocopherol

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

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Sodium Anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

P-Anisic Acid

Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended

Microcrystalline Cellulose

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

Cellulose Gum

Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Acacia Senegal Gum

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

Propanediol

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract

Yeast extract rich in peptides and vitamins for antioxidant and skin conditioning; water-soluble, low irritation risk.

Ci 77820

Rhamnose

Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.

Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Glucose

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

Glucuronic Acid
