Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Chondrus Crispus Powder
- Seaweed powder for gentle physical exfoliation; absorbs water; for scrubs and care, no chemical irritation.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil
- Sea buckthorn oil rich in carotenoids; viscous and may stain light formulations.
- Gellan Gum
- Gellan gum; water-soluble polymer; gel former; high transparency, strong gelling, for aqueous phase stability.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
- Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection
- Polyglycerin-3
- Not decoded yet
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Glycosphingolipids
- Lipids mimicking sebum to repair skin barrier and reduce TEWL. Biological origin, low irritancy.
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- Strong anionic emulsifier for O/W emulsions; incompatible with cationic surfactants
- Styrene/Vp Copolymer
- Styrene/VP copolymer for film forming and fixation; used in hairsprays and primers, check breathability
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate(1
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- 000Ppm)
- Not decoded yet
- Adenosine
- Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Agar
- Natural polysaccharide gelling agent for thickening and suspension; may gel at high levels, avoid cationic systems
- Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil
- Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.
- Diethoxyethyl Succinate
- Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Soluble Collagen
- Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film
- Methyl Gluceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
