Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Stearyl Dimethicone

Silicone emulsifier/modifier for texture. Highly occlusive; use caution in acne-prone skin or if silicone sensitivity is a concern.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Glycerin

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

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Copper Lysinate/Prolinate

Copper amino acid chelate; claims collagen support, use at 0.01–0.05%, may discolor

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Aminobutyric Acid

GABA for hair hydration and shine, low irritation, acts as a conditioner.

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Hydrolyzed Keratin

Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data

Agar

Natural polysaccharide gelling agent for thickening and suspension; may gel at high levels, avoid cationic systems

Phenoxyethanol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

PVP

Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.

Polyvinyl Alcohol

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

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Methylglucoside Phosphate

Modified sugar-based surfactant acting as mild conditioning agent; performance affected by hard water, use with chelating agents.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Polyvinyl Acetate

Film-forming polymer for coating actives or static control; often used as capsule shell or fixative film.

Polysilicone-11

Reactive silicone polymer at 0.5-5%; provides silky feel, forms film, requires silicone cross-linker

Barium Sulfate

Inert mineral filler and thickener; not absorbed by skin, avoid dust inhalation in powder processes

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

Peptide actives for skin conditioning; typically used at low levels.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde

Not decoded yet

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Lilial

Fragrance ingredient with floral notes; one of EU 26 allergens, concentration limited

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
