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 →
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusivesC · Official source
- Triethanoamine
- pH adjuster to alkaline levels; used <1%; may cause stingingE · AI inference · to be verified
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibilityC · Official source
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacyC · Official source
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pHB · Third-party verified
- Ascorbic Acid
- Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.B · Third-party verified
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regenerationC · Official source
- Glycine Soja Oil
