Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 5.0%
- Not decoded yet
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for sensitive skin formulations
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Magnesium Pca
- Magnesium PCA; chelator and humectant with synergistic Mg/PCA action; low irritation, water-soluble.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extract
- Evodia fruit extract for skin conditioning; bitter, alkaloid-rich, avoid long-term acidic compatibility
- Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract
- Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.
- Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract
- Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.
- Corallina Officinalis Extract
- Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.
- Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract
- Coccinia indica fruit extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritation.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate
- Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
