Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Glycol Stearate
- Glycol stearate emulsifier and thickener; improves texture and feel, generally well-tolerated.
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Pg-Hydroxyethylcellulose Cocodimonium Chloride
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-68
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Polyquaternium-37
- Not decoded yet
- PPG-1 Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Oleyl Erucate
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Lightweight emollient, low viscosity, refreshes skin feel, high compatibility.
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- EDTA
- Chelating agent for stability; use metal salts, keep concentration low (<0.1%) to maintain pH.
- Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer thickener; requires neutralization for viscosity stability
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sorbitan Oleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Cinnamyl Alcohol
- Restricted fragrance in EU; banned at ≥0.1%; used in trace amounts or as precursor.
- Coumarin
- Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
