Ingredients explained

Hydroquinone
Melanin inhibitor restricted in EU cosmetics; primarily industrial or intermediate use; strict compliance required
Aqua/Water/Eau
Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
Ascorbic Acid
Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.
Ascorbyl Palmitate
Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
Beta-Glucan
Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.
Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract
Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining
C10-16 Alcohols
C10-C16 alcohols for emolliency and texture; high concentrations may increase comedogenic risk.
Caprylyl Glycol
Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
Cetyl Alcohol
Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
Chlorphenesin
Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
Dioscorea Villosa Root Extract
Wild Yam extract; traditional ingredient used as skin conditioner. Low concentration, limited clinical evidence.
Disodium EDTA
Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
Glycerin
Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
Maltodextrin
High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
Phenoxyethanol
Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract
Quillaia saponaria bark extract, cleansing foaming agent; contains natural saponins, potentially allergenic, strong foaming but moderate mildness.
Smilax Aristolochiifolia Root Extract
Smilax aristolochiifolia root extract for skin conditioning; traditional use, limited modern evidence, trace additive.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
Sodium Metabisulfite
Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
Stachys Officinalis Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
Stachys officinalis extract with steroidal saponins for skin elasticity and hydration; evidence still emerging.
Stearyl Alcohol
Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
Tocopherol
Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
Tocopheryl Acetate
Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
Yucca Schidigera Root Extract
Yucca schidigera root extract, natural anti-inflammatory and skin conditioning
