Ingredients explained

Water / Aqua / Eau

Water, primary solvent and carrier; inert but requires strict microbial control as the main medium for contamination.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Glycerin

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

Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone

PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits

Titanium Dioxide [Nano]

Nano white pigment and UV blocker; provides physical sun protection, watch inhalation.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Phenoxyethanol

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

Stearoyl Inulin

Soluble dietary fiber. Mild emollient and emulsifier, boosts foam. Low allergenicity, good for sensitive skin.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Peg-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Hydrated Silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Propylene Glycol

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

Tilia Cordata Wood Extract

Tilia cordata wood extract for soothing and refreshing feel; botanical source, check allergen potential and solvent residues.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Aesculus Hippocastanum Seed Extract

Horse chestnut seed extract for skin care; soothing, used in circulation products

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

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

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Trimethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane modifier for smoothing and binding; used as surface treatment or rheology modifier; low irritancy typically.

Glycogen

Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.

Bht

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Yeast Extract / Faex Extract / Extrait De Levure

Yeast extract for hydration and repair claims; rich in amino acids. Check for gluten-free sourcing and potential sensitivity.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Methylparaben

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

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Calcium Pantothenate

Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners

Fragrance / Parfum

Generic term for fragrance mix; components vary. Primary source of EU 26 allergens; check disclosure and sensitivity.

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde

Prohibited in EU cosmetics; restricted due to irritation risks.
