Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Volcanic Ash
- Mineral absorbent with porous structure for oil absorption; mild abrasive and bulking, requires particle screening
- Avena Sativa Kernel Meal
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Arnica Montana Flower Extract
- Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract*
- Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract*
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Olea Europaea Leaf Extract*
- Olive leaf extract with hydroxytyrosol; antioxidant and polyphenolic; mild fragrance and skin conditioning.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract*
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract*
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Coconut Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsifying; strong surfactant, watch for over-drying in dry skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
- Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
