- Eau)
- Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- VP/VA Copolymer
- VA/VP copolymer film former; provides hair fixing; avoid direct contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
- Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Cationic conditioning agent providing antistatic benefits and smoothness; common in hair conditioners, note anion surfactant compatibility.
- Soy Amino Acids
- Not decoded yet
- Wheat Amino Acids
- Wheat amino acids for hair/skin; contains gluten, allergy caution
- Arginine Hcl
- Amphoteric amino acid salt, moisturizer and buffer; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- 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.
- Citronellol
