Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Lauryl hydroxysultaine

Mild amphoteric surfactant; easy to rinse, low sensitization risk. Often used in shampoos and sensitive skin cleansers

Disodium cocoamphodiacetate

Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.

Sodium chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate

Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products

Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.

Potassium cocoate

Soap-type anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; watch pH and skin tolerance.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Snail Secretion Filtrate

Snail secretion filtrate with moisturizing and repairing peptides; animal-derived, monitor purity and allergy risk

Benzyl Glycol

Solvent and viscosity regulator; aids solubility of actives, slight preservative boost

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Hexylene Glycol

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Salvia Officinalis Oil

Sage oil traditionally for tonic use; as essential oil, mind concentration and labeling.

Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice

Birch juice NMF 0.5-5%; aqueous, check preservatives & sugars

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder

Tea polyphenol powder; exfoliation and antioxidants, grind size dictates abrasion

Agrimonia Eupatoria Extract

Not decoded yet

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract

Perilla leaf extract containing perillal, providing fragrance and mild soothing effects.

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract

Tea tree leaf extract for skin conditioning and perfuming; allergen risk requires dilution.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Saponaria officinalis

Not decoded yet

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract

Kigelia africana fruit extract, skin conditioner; watch microbial limits.

Aspartic acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Asiaticoside

Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Asiatic acid

Pro-healing active, 0.1–1%; stability affected by light, store protected from light.

Madecassic acid

Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

phosphatidylcholine

Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability

Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-yuen Seed Extract

Job's tear seed extract; traditionally used for skin conditioning and reducing roughness, containing sterols and polysaccharides.

Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract

Peony root extract for moisture and conditioning; plant-derived, low allergenicity

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Cysteine

Cysteine reducing agent at 1–5% for waving; acidic amino acid, sulfur odor possible, pH buffering needed
