Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
- Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein
- Not decoded yet
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil
- Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Santalum Album Oil
- Essential oil fragrance, restricted under EU 26; monitor sensitization and phototoxicity
- Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil
- Flaxseed oil; high oleic, emollient; prone to oxidation.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tourmaline
- Tourmaline mineral powder for viscosity control or tactile modification. Inert and non-irritating; manage dust inhalation risks during manufacturing.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Cationic modified protein for hair conditioning; flocculates with anionic surfactants.
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol
- Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glycereth-26
- Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Vinyldimethicone
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- C12-13 Pareth-3
- Not decoded yet
- C12-13 Pareth-23
- Not decoded yet
- 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.
- Laureth-9
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- C11-15 Pareth-7
- Not decoded yet
- Trideceth-12
- Not decoded yet
- 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.
- PPG-5-Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Benzophenone-4
- Not decoded yet
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride
- Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, potent antimicrobial; resistance concerns, restricted to oral care
