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
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- C9-12 Alkane
- C9-12 alkanes; solvent and emollient. Lightweight feel, verify source and refining history.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Powder
- Bamboo stem powder, physical exfoliant; grit size dictates irritation, prevent settling in creams
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Cetyl Ricinoleate
- Plant-derived ester for emolliency and gloss; low irritancy and comedogenicity, suitable for dry skin.
- Ferulic Acid
- Antioxidant, often combined with vitamin C and E; 0.5-2%, photolabile
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Methyl Trimethicone
- Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Methyldihydrojasmonate
- Methyl dihydrojasmonate, jasmine accord; synthetic fragrance, potential allergen.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate
- Yeast ferment filtrate; humectant and conditioner. May contain peptides, prone to browning, protect from light.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Diamond Powder
- Diamond powder as abrasive; high hardness, check particle uniformity
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Ubiquinone
- Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Soluble Collagen
- Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film
- Undaria Pinnatifida Extract
- Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract
- Plant extract for skin protection; contains antioxidants, may need stabilizers at high conc.
- Arnica Montana Flower Extract
- Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Corallina Officinalis Extract
- Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.
- Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract
- Seaweed polysaccharide; film forming and moisturizing; provides gel texture; gentle.
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Jojoba Wax PEG-120 Esters
- Modified wax with emollient and thickening properties; adjusts viscosity and feel; contains PEG group
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Myristyl Alcohol
- Long-chain fatty alcohol for emulsion stability and conditioning; slippery feel, low sensitization, common in creams.
- Steareth-20
- Nonionic emulsifier at 0.5-2%; helps stabilize emulsions, reduces surfactant irritation
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
