Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Distearoylethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Methosulfate

Quaternary ammonium for hair conditioning and antistatic; requires cationic system, stinging at high levels

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Hydrolyzed Pea Protein

Hydrolyzed pea protein; plant-based conditioner/antistatic. Use at 1-3%; requires preservatives.

Arginine

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

Serine

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

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Isoamyl Laurate

Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate

Polyglyceryl-3 caprate, mild emulsifier and thickener. Low irritation; often needs co-emulsifiers.

Pca

Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Behentrimonium Chloride

Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.

Silicone Quaternium-22

Not decoded yet

Cetrimonium Chloride

Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

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

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Palmitamidopropyltrimonium Chloride

Cationic conditioner; antistatic and hair softening, 0.1-2%, excessive causes tackiness

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Hydrolyzed Silk

Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Proline

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

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
