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

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Butylene Glycol

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

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Glyceryl Polyacrylate

Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive

Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract

Tea tree (Melaleuca) extract for emollient skin conditioning; monitor sensitivity.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Hamamelis Virginiana Extract

Botanical extract for astringent and sebum control; mild irritation risk for sensitive skin at high concentrations.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract

Evening primrose flower extract acting as an astringent; generally safe at standard formulation levels.

Calendula Officinalis Extract

Calendula extract; antioxidant, potential allergen at high doses

Spirulina Platensis Extract

Spirulina platensis extract; rich in phycocyanin; skin protector; dark color requires color management

Diethoxyethyl Succinate

Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Boswellia Serrata Resin Extract

Boswellia serrata resin extract for smoothing and toning; resin allergenic risk, caution in sensitive skin

Betaine

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

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Disodium EDTA

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

Elaeagnus Glabra Extract

Not decoded yet

Propanediol

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

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Leaf Oil

Not decoded yet

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil

Sweet orange oil; fragrance/antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use at night or with SPF.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
