Ingredients explained

Water

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Betaine

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Lactobacillus/Leuconostoc/Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract

Lactobacillus/Leuconostoc Coconut Ferment; provides mild exfoliation and hydration via lactic acid. Lower pH requires system adjustment for stability.

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

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

Houttuynia Cordata Extract

Houttuynia cordata extract for anti-inflammatory and soothing effects; contains volatile oils, patch test recommended for sensitive skin.

Xanthan Gum

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

Acer Saccharum Extract

Maple extract; NMF/AA source; gentle humectant, no public irritant/comedogenic data

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

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

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Achillea Millefolium Extract

Yarrow extract; chrysogenic content for soothing; contains essential oil components, assess phototoxicity and allergens

Ecklonia Cava Extract

Brown algae extract for skin conditioning; good solubility, low irritation

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Arnica Montana Flower Extract

Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised
