Ingredients explained
Each note carries its evidence level: C comes from official inventories (NMPA names, CosIng functions, annex restrictions); E is AI inference nobody has checked yet — treat it as a candidate. How we grade evidence →
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growthE · AI inference · to be verified
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternativeB · Third-party verified
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.B · Third-party verified
- Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract
- Tremella extract; strong humectant and antioxidant; water-soluble, suitable for anti-aging.E · AI inference · to be verified
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.B · Third-party verified
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusivesC · Official source
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.B · Third-party verified
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibilityC · Official source
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.B · Third-party verified

- Disodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.B · Third-party verified
- Sodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritatingB · Third-party verified
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.B · Third-party verified
