Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable
- VP/VA Copolymer
- VA/VP copolymer film former; provides hair fixing; avoid direct contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Citrus Tangerina Peel Oil
- Citrus essential oil for fragrance and skin care; high phototoxicity, limit concentration or shade
