Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Pectin

Natural polysaccharide binder/stabilizer for gels; incompatible with cationics

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Peptide conditioning agent; control pH to prevent degradation, used in hair and skin care.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Stearalkonium Hectorite

Inorganic clay gellant with silky feel; must disperse well, high local dose can irritate.

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8

Palmitoyl tripeptide-8 signaling peptide; 0.1–1%, aqueous stability watch

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract

Microbial ferment for humectancy and skin conditioning; gentle.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Tripeptide-10 Citrulline

Tripeptide-10 with Citrulline for skin conditioning and penetration enhancement.

Tripeptide-1

Not decoded yet

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Artemia Salina Extract

Not decoded yet

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity

Cera Alba

Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Butylparaben

Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.

Isobutylparaben

Paraben preservative; used in combination, restricted usage

EDTA

Chelating agent for stability; use metal salts, keep concentration low (<0.1%) to maintain pH.

BHA

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); oil-phase antioxidant. Use <0.05%. Controversial at high levels.

Imidazolidinyl Urea

Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Superoxide Dismutase

Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
