Formulation view Hair toner, water-based clear formula with trace jojoba and castor oils for nourishment. Core actives include three ceramides, phytosphingosine, and copper peptides for hair structure repair. Citric acid adjusts pH; preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. Suited for split hair with oily roots and dry ends. Factory view: low viscosity aqueous system requires monitoring solubility stability of actives to prevent precipitation during long-term storage.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil

Light emollient oil rich in oleic acid; moderate comedogenic risk.

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil

Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.

Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract

Amla fruit extract with antioxidants; humectant and conditioning, preserve freshness

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Copper Tripeptide-1

Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) for repair/anti-aging at 0.01–0.1%; water-soluble, avoid chelators.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Hydroxypropyl Bisstearamide Mea

Amide conditioner for scalp/skin; regulates sebum, improves slip.

Hydroxypropyl Bislauramide Mea

Polyhydroxy acid amide MEA salt for gentle skin conditioning and feel. Low irritation, non-comedogenic.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Polyglyceryl-3

Not decoded yet

Glyceryl Diisostearate

Glyceryl diisostearate, emulsifier and emollient; low irritation, low comedogenic, smooth skin feel, used in premium formulas.

Polyglyceryl-3 Betainate Acetate

Sugar-based amphoteric surfactant for mild conditioning and foam; typical 1-5%, check compatibility with cationics.

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Anise Alcohol

Anethole, one of EU 26 allergens, max 0.5% anhydrous; used in trace for anise-like fixative effect.

Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil

Essential oil used as fragrance; photosensitivity risk, avoid sun exposure after use

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
