Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- 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
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
- Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas
- Pistacia Lentiscus Gum
- Frankincense resin for film formation and fragrance; natural source, high doses may sensitize
- Nylon-12
- Polymer microspheres at 0.1-2%; enhances barrier function, improves texture, strong grainy feel
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Sodium Polyacrylate Starch
- Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Methyl Trimethicone
- Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Phenethyl Alcohol
- Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives
- Flavor/Aroma
- Placeholder for flavor/aroma ingredients; specific components must be confirmed.
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Sodium Carbonate
- Sodium carbonate; alkaline buffer and thickener; adjusts pH, corrosive at high levels, control dosage.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Polyphosphorylcholine Glycol Acrylate
- Water-soluble film former and moisturizer; poor compatibility with cationic actives, potential allergen
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Red 40
- Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists
