Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Butylene Glycol

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

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Oil

Classic occlusive emollient for dry/winter formulas; generally low comedogenicity.

PEG-150 Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; mild comedogenic risk.

Polyquaternium-37

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil

Passionflower seed oil; emollient; prone to oxidation, needs protection.

Citric Acid

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

Tartaric Acid

Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract

Wheat germ extract, nutrient-rich; contains gluten, test for sensitivity.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Biosaccharide Gum-1

Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.

Pantethine

Panthenine, lipophilic vitamin B derivative convertible to pantothenic acid, used for hair and skin conditioning

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

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

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.

Yellow 6

Synthetic water-soluble dye; potential allergen, use with care in sensitive skin, often needs stabilizers.
