Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate
- SKIN CONDITIONING
- Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate
- Cetearyl ester for emollience/stabilizing; light texture, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.
- Milk Protein
- Not decoded yet
- Kojic Acid Dipalmitate
- Gentle brightening antioxidant; low water solubility requires emulsification, caution for sensitive skin
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- PPG-15 Stearyl Ether
- PPG-15 stearyl ether emollient, improves spreadability; low-molecular PPG, slippery feel.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Laureth-23
- Not decoded yet
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- 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
- Sodium Acrylates Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- PPG-1 Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Propyl Gallate
- Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.
