Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24
- Nonionic emulsifier/solubilizer; low foam, mild, for emulsions, avoid with soaps to prevent precipitation
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Calcium Chloride
- Cross-linker and viscosity controller for gels; astringent at high levels, check skin tolerance
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.
- Gossypium Herbaceum Cotton Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Manganese Sulfate
- Manganese sulfate, trace element supplement; low concentration use
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract
- Quinoa seed extract, protein/polypeptide conditioner; water-soluble, check charge interactions with actives.
- Zinc Sulfate
- Antimicrobial and astringent, restricted in oral care; <1% topical, metallic taste, avoid mixing with amino acids
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.
