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

Thymus Serpillum Extract

Thymus serpyllum extract, contains active ingredients such as thymol, used as antibacterial and astringent agent; strong irritancy at high concentrations, dosage needs to be controlled.

Microcitrus Australasica Fruit Extract

Citrus fruit extract for antioxidant and fresh feel; potential allergen

Xanthan Gum

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

Palmitoyl Sh-Octapeptide-24 Amide

Peptide active for firming; new patented ingredient, limited data, start with low concentration, avoid conflicts with other actives

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Polyvinyl Alcohol

Film/viscosity agent for masks/cleansers; water-soluble, forms flexible film

Palmitoyl Sh-Tripeptide-5 Norisoleucyl Sh-Nonapeptide-1

Recombinant collagen peptide fragment; aims to stimulate collagen synthesis; high MW limits penetration, long-term effects need clinical validation.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Phenylpropanol

Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment

Borago Officinalis Seed Oil

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) rich oil; excellent for repair but prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

4-Butylresorcinol

Brightening agent inhibiting tyrosinase; use 0.1-2%, excess may cause irritation or darkening; needs stabilizer.

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Tremella Fuciformis Extract

Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract

Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Vitex Agnus Castus Extract

Agnus-castus extract for astringency; phytoestrogenic activity, avoid in pregnant/hormone-sensitive users.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Tocopherol

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

Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin; used as a stabilizer or solubilizer to improve solubility of active ingredients and fragrances

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Arbutin

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

Linolenic Acid

Omega-6 fatty acid for barrier repair; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants and low light exposure

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Gluconate

Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
