Ingredients explained

Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water

Astringent/soothing water with tannins; aqueous, high preservation needs; tannins may irritate

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Kaolin

Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119

Bentonite

Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Citric Acid

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

Sulfur

Sebum-regulating and anti-seborrheic agent for acne; has distinct odor, low irritancy at standard levels but can be drying.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Cetearyl Glucoside

Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended

Propanediol

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Mandelic Acid

Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

SKIN CONDITIONING

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Zinc Oxide

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

Amethyst Powder

Not decoded yet

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Triolein

Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.

Agar

Natural polysaccharide gelling agent for thickening and suspension; may gel at high levels, avoid cationic systems

Glyceryl Dioleate

Glyceryl dioleate, light plant-based ester emollient providing smooth feel; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Sodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritating

Propylene Glycol

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

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Calcium Gluconate

Chelator and conditioner, improves stability; water-soluble calcium source

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Benzyl Alcohol

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

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Parfum

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