Ingredients explained

Bambusa Vulgaris Water

Bambusa vulgaris leaf water extract used primarily for skin conditioning

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Glycerin

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

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Vincetoxicum Atratum Extract

Black seed extract, mild anti-inflammatory; low usage, antioxidant needed to prevent browning.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Lonicera Japonica

Flower Extract

Generic flower extract, provides antioxidant or soothing benefits

Thuja Orientalis Extract

Thuja orientalis extract with antimicrobial, astringent, and humectant properties; low irritation at standard use

Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract

Plant leaf extract containing essential oils for skin conditioning and soothing; dilute concentrated extracts to avoid irritation.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

Cationic hyaluronic acid, 0.1–1%; water-soluble thickener and conditioning agent.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

Polyglyceryl-3 distearate; natural-origin emulsifier; mild, suitable for sensitive skin, oil phase stable.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
