Ingredients explained

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data

Quaternium-18

Not decoded yet

Behentrimonium Chloride

Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract

Chinese herb extract used as a traditional tonic and skin conditioner.

Citric Acid

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Butylene Glycol

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

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Mentha Arvensis Leaf Extract

Wild mint leaf extract for cooling; contains menthol, may irritate sensitive skin.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Acorus Calamus Root Extract

Soothing and perfuming extract; volatile oils may cause sensitization at low levels

Biota Orientalis Leaf Extract

Side cypress leaf extract for humectancy; low allergen risk, patch test advised

Chrysanthemum Zawadskii Extract

Chrysanthemum extract; antioxidant and soothing, used at low levels

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

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

Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract

Goji berry extract rich in antioxidants; used for antioxidant and skin protection benefits.

Morus Alba Bark Extract

Mulberry bark extract for skin conditioning; niche ingredient, stability and safety data limited

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Xanthium Strumarium Fruit Extract

Xanthium fruit extract; flavonoid-rich, traditional anti-inflammatory, watch plant allergens

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Oenothera Biennis Oil

Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Biotin

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

Hydrolyzed Corn Protein

Hydrolysed corn protein conditioner at 1–10%; small peptides, prone to browning, chelators recommended

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Cationic conditioning agent providing antistatic benefits and smoothness; common in hair conditioners, note anion surfactant compatibility.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Limonene
