Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- C13-16 Isoparaffin
- Lightweight isoparaffinic solvent for degreasing and texture adjustment; inert solvent, no inherent allergenicity, but may impact skin barrier with prolonged heavy use.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Pyridoxine Hcl
- Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydroxycitronellal
- Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.
- Glyceryl Linoleate
- Glyceryl linoleate; emulsifier and emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.
- Safflower Glucoside
- Nonionic surfactant for hair conditioning; improves slip and shine in rinse-off formulas; check cationic compatibility.
- Coumarin
- Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Not decoded yet
- Iris Florentina Root Extract
- Orris root extract, traditional fixative/tonic; contains volatile essentials, check allergen compatibility.
- Glyceryl Linolenate
- Emollient/moisturizer; potential allergen, caution in sensitive skin
- Ci 19140/Yellow 5
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 14700 / Red 4
- Not decoded yet
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
