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

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Arbutin

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical use 1-2%, comply with EU restrictions on specific arbutins.

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

C12-16 Alcohols

Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Pca Dimethicone

Modified silicone for smoothness and shine; occlusive, suitable for dry hair, avoid excess on oily face.

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Polyperfluoromethylisopropyl Ether

PFAS (fully-fluorinated) film-former for SPF/lip, <1%; regulatory limits, avoid high-heat, substitute recommended

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Panthenol

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

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Cordyceps Sinensis Extract

Cordyceps sinensis extract, medicinal herb; antioxidant, humectant, skin protector, control concentration.

Dimethicone

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

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Polyacrylate-13

Water-soluble polymer at 0.1-2%; gel thickener and film former, requires acid-base neutralization, may clog

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Butylparaben

Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Poloxamer 188

Amphiphilic copolymer for emulsification/solubilization; often co-emulsifier, slight irritation at high conc.

Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate

Yeast ferment filtrate; humectant and conditioner. May contain peptides, prone to browning, protect from light.

Allium Sativum Bulb Extract

Garlic extract with antimicrobial and conditioning activity. Strong odor and potentially irritating at high levels; use at low concentrations.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/Pvp Crosspolymer

Film former and hair conditioner complex for styling and protection; wheat protein may trigger allergies.

Theobroma Cacao Shell Powder

Not decoded yet

Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract

Traditional medicinal root extract for skin conditioning; verify compatibility, patch test for sensitive skin.

Disodium Edta

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

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Benzophenone-5

Benzophenone-5 at 0.1-5%; efficient UVA sunscreen, potential sensitizer, often combined with other sunscreens

Alcohol

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

Schizandra Chinensis Fruit Extract

Schisandra fruit extract rich in lignans; used at 0.1–2% for antioxidant and conditioning; batch variability possible

Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.

Sorbitan Isostearate

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

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract

Astragalus root extract for antioxidant and barrier-support conditioning

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract

Paeon lactiflora root extract with paeoniflorin; 0.1–1%, skin conditioning; watch oxidizers.

Cnidium Officinale Root Extract

Botanical root extract for skin conditioning; concentration based on stability, note allergen risk

Morus Alba Root Extract

Mulberry root extract with resveratrol-like compounds; whitening and conditioning; plant-based, control concentration to avoid irritation.
