Highlights

Free of alcoholFree of parabensFree of sulfatesFree of formaldehyde releasersContains mineral oilContains animal-derivedContains essential oilsContains fragranceContains PEGContains siliconesContains EU-26 allergens

Formulation view Aqueous base with glycerin and propanediol, combined with avocado oil and polyisobutene for occlusion. Features retinol and niacinamide, with kaolin to absorb oil. Emulsifiers include cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate; preservative system is comprehensive. Suitable for overnight facial care; factory perspective notes that coexistence of kaolin and actives requires attention to dispersion to prevent adsorption losses.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

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

C9-12 Alkane

C9-12 alkanes; solvent and emollient. Lightweight feel, verify source and refining history.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Kaolin

Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Polyisobutene

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

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

C13-15 Alkane

Mineral oil derivative as solvent and spreader; low irritation and allergen, ensure high purity free of carcinogens

Platonia Insignis Seed Butter

Cupuaçu seed butter; rich in oleic/linoleic acids, barrier repair

Persea Gratissima Fruit Extract

Avocado extract for emollience/hydration; oily base, may clog acne-prone skin at high levels.

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Saccharide Isomerate

Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.

Hexylresorcinol

Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical range 0.1-1.5%, potential irritation at high levels, control pH.

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Malachite Extract

Botanical antioxidant extract; specific activity varies by extraction process.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Butylene Glycol

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Hydroxypropylsulfonate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer

Mild amphoteric/nonionic surfactant for cleansing/foaming; low irritation, pediatric safe.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Hydrated Silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Curcumin

Potent antioxidant & strong yellow colorant; unstable/oxidizes, low usage (<0.1%), keep from light

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate

PPG-3 benzyl ether myristate, emollient emulsifier; contains PEG-like structure, low viscosity solvent, check ionic compatibility.

Maltooligosyl Glucoside

Hydrophilic humectant and film former at 0.1–1%; low irritation, suitable for all skin types

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination

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

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%.

Lavandula Angustifolia Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Aromatic skin conditioning extract; contains fragrance allergens, test for sensitivity.

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
