Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydrolyzed Keratin Pg-Propyl Methylsilanediol
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Cationic conditioner with hydrolyzed keratin for antistatic and smoothing; typically used in leave-on hair/skin care.
- Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Not decoded yet
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil
- Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Phosphatidylcholine
- Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability
- Aleurites Moluccanus Seed Oil
- Canarium oil, rich in oleic acid and antioxidants, used as emollient; prone to oxidation, add antioxidants
- Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
- Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection
- Oenothera Biennis Oil
- Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract with astringent and skin conditioning properties
- Arginine Hcl
- Amphoteric amino acid salt, moisturizer and buffer; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glycolipids
- Cell membrane lipids mimicking skin barrier structure; used in repair formulations and biomimetic membranes
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Thioctic Acid
- Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Ethylhexyl Olivate
- Oleate ester emollient; light feel, high comedogenic rating, limit for acne-prone skin.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Cetyl Esters
- Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Bisamino PEG/PPG-41/3 Aminoethyl Pg-Propyl Dimethicone
- Not decoded yet

- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Polyquaternium-37
- Not decoded yet
- Bis-Ethyl Isostearamide
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- PPG-1 Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
