- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Oat Beta Glucan
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol
- Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil
- Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Stearyl Dihydroxypropyldimonium Oligosaccharides
- Not decoded yet
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*
- Shea butter providing occlusive moisture; standard comedogenic rating is 2, watch for clogging risk in combination formulas.
- Niacin
- Niacin (B3) smoother; high topological concentrations may cause flushing, often used as co-agent or precursor.
- Vinegar
- Vinegar containing acetic acid; low pH, use in trace amounts only
- Polyglyceryl-3 Stearate
- Polyglyceryl ester emulsifier, gentle and biodegradable; suitable for sensitive skin formulas, no comedogenic record.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Yeast Extract
- Yeast extract for skin care and protection; common, low allergy risk
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract
- Mint extract for cooling sensation; contains menthol, mild irritation potential.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Glyceryl Undecylenate
- Light ester emollient with silk-like, spreadable feel; common carrier for UV filters, good silicone compatibility
- Diheptyl Succinate
- Light emollient ester; refreshing non-greasy feel, often replaces heavier mineral oils.
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer
- Film-forming conditioner for hair/skin protection; hydrophobic, pair with water phase
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil
- Mauritia flexuosa fruit oil; rich in palmoleic and unsaturated fatty acids; moisturizes and repairs barrier; heavy oil, requires emulsification.
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
