Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine, cationic surfactant, antistatic; precipitates with anionics.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey
- Not decoded yet
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate
- Emollient ester and emulsifier; provides silky feel in O/W systems, generally mild and non-irritating
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Glycereth-2 Cocoate
- Cocoate emulsifier with cleansing and emulsifying functions; coconut-derived, watch for mild irritation from residual oleic acid.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables
- Oleic unsaponifiables (squalane/phytane); heavy-duty emollients suitable for dry, damaged skin repair
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
