Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside
- Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention
- Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract
- Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.
- Lactobacillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate
- Vegetable-derived gentle emulsifier for sensitive skin; no public comedogenic data.
- Sodium Surfactin
- Biogenic surfactant with cleansing, emulsifying, and gel-forming properties.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
