Ingredients explained

Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Not decoded yet

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Phenoxyethanol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Strong anionic emulsifier for O/W emulsions; incompatible with cationic surfactants

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Benzophenone-4

Not decoded yet

Parfum

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

Linoleamidopropyl Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate

Linoleic-based cationic conditioner, strong antistatic for dry hair, incompatible with anionic surfactants

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Niacinamide

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

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

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Cetearyl Glucoside

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Disodium EDTA

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

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

C12-14 Pareth-12

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Hydroxystearic Acid

羟基硬脂酸，多元醇型乳化剂，可增强乳化稳定性，具一定保湿与成膜性

Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.

Ci 47005

Azo synthetic colorant; comply with EU limit IV/82 and impurity specs.

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Arachidic Acid

C20 straight-chain fatty acid acting as emulsifier and conditioner; adds opacity, biodegradable, low irritancy.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Sulfate

Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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