Ingredients explained

Water

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

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

Glycerin

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

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Butylene Glycol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Panthenol

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

Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract

Bark extract used as an antioxidant; ensure consistent raw material sourcing.

Sorbitan Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract

Rosemary extract; antimicrobial; photo-toxic and allergen risks.

Centella Asiatica Extract

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

Pinus Densiflora Bark Extract

Pine bark extract with polyphenols; used for skin conditioning and antioxidant claims, control batch consistency of natural source.

Tocopherol

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

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract

Tea tree leaf extract for skin conditioning and perfuming; allergen risk requires dilution.

Trifolium Pratense Extract

Plant extract for hair and skin conditioning; contains isoflavones, caution for hormone-sensitive individuals or infants.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Ceramide NS

Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Ceramide AS

Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Sucrose Stearate

Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Polysorbate 60

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

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Disodium EDTA

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

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
