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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Honey

Humectant/emollient; contains sugars requiring preservation, contraindicated for bee product allergies.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Argania Spinosa Kernel Extract

Argan oil extract, oleic/lauric acids for nourishing/repair, comedogenic 1–2, oil-phase

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

PPG-2 Myristyl Ether Propionate

Non-ionic emollient for skin conditioning; contains PPG structure.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Oenothera Biennis Oil

Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Ethylhexyl Stearate

Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.

Panthenol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract

Camellia oleifera leaf extract containing tea polyphenols; acts as astringent and skin conditioner, monitor raw material consistency.

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract

Pomelo extract with astringent and skin-conditioning properties; contains phototoxic citrus components, assess risk for daytime use.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract

Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Phytic Acid

Natural chelator for formula stability; acidic, may shift pH at high levels.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate

Composite emulsifier for stable O/W systems, provides mild cleansing.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

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

Sodium Isostearate

Gentle anionic surfactant for thickening and emulsification; often paired with cationics.

Citrus Limon Peel Oil

Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance

Alcohol

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

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5

Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, a moisturizing peptide that enhances skin hydration via hydrolysis, typically mild, used to improve dryness

Myristoyl Tripeptide-31
