Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Copper Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
- Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Rhamnose
- Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.
- Fructooligosaccharides
- Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Cetrimonium Bromide
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for hair products; antistatic, emulsifying, cleansing. Restricted in EU to 0.1% ocular. Incompatible with anionics.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
