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 →
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is criticalE · AI inference · to be verified
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliationB · Third-party verified
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.B · Third-party verified
- 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
- Olaflur
- High-MW bioactive; promotes collagen synthesis. Usually used at low concentrations; stable but potentially irritating at high levelsE · AI inference · to be verified
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.E · AI inference · to be verified
- Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener used to mask bitter tastes; common in oral care products, not absorbedE · AI inference · to be verified
