Solvent and base; pharmaceutical grade recommended for active formulations.

Eau)

Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation

Propylene Glycol

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

Dihydroxyacetone

Tanning agent; protein browning at 1–4%; uneven staining or residue risk

PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.

Caramel

Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.

Dihydroxypropyl PEG-5 Linoleammonium Chloride

Not decoded yet

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

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.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Blue 1

Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits

Red 40

Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists

Yellow 6

Synthetic water-soluble dye; potential allergen, use with care in sensitive skin, often needs stabilizers.

Green 5

Coloring agent for green tones; use within regulatory limits, no specific incompatibilities.

Yellow 5
