Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.

Glycerin

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

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Sodium Olivoyl/Cocoyl Amino Acids Fructoside

Not decoded yet

Sodium Cocoyl Threoninate

Not decoded yet

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.

Nigella Sativa Seed Oil

Rich in oleic and linolenic acids; emollient and conditioning, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants.

Cinnamomum Camphora Linalooliferum Wood Oil

Not decoded yet

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage

Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil

Litsaea cubeba fruit oil; distinct aroma, potential irritant; use as essential oil, label fully.

Pelargonium Graveolens Oil

Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Fruit Extract

Bitter orange fruit extract, plant conditioner; may contain phototoxic furanocoumarins, use caution in sensitive skin and sun exposure.

Citrus Reticulata Fruit Extract

Citrus fruit extract for antioxidant and protection; contains fragrance allergens, potential sensitizer

Citrus Sinensis Peel Extract

Orange peel extract for citrus notes. Prone to oxidation and color change, light-sensitive.

Sodium Anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Lactic Acid

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

Sodium PCA

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

Glycyrrhiza Inflata Extract

Not decoded yet

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Artemisia Vulgaris Extract

Herbal extract rich in volatile essential oils for skin conditioning; check sensitization potential at high levels

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Taraktogenos Kurzii Seed Oil

Rare seed oil for conditioning and softness; limited supply for premium use; monitor batch consistency

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Capryloyl Glycine

Functional surfactant with seborrhea-control properties; suited for oily or acne-prone skin.

Leptospermum Scoparium Branch/Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil for tonic and antimicrobial effect. Highly irritating at high levels; dilute below 1% and screen for essential oil allergies.

Palm Glycerides

Palm glycerides; gentle emulsifier/emollient, vegetable-derived, low comedogenic risk

Potassium Lauroyl Wheat Amino Acids

Mild wheat amino acid surfactant; gentle cleanse; suitable for sensitive and pediatric formulas

Rapeseed Acid

Not decoded yet

Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment

Yeast ferment extract with polysaccharides; used for multifunctional effects, complex profile may sensitise.

Zinc Pca

Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate

Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.

Magnolia Grandiflora Bark Extract
