Ingredients explained

Aqua
Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
Niacinamide
Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
Salicylic Acid
Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
Pisum Sativum Peptide
Pisum sativum peptide for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritancy and comedogenicity at standard levels
Panthenol
Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
Propylene Glycol
Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
Arginine
Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
Aspartic Acid
Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
Glycine
Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
Alanine
Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
Serine
Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
Valine
Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types
Proline
Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
Threonine
Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
Isoleucine
Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.
Histidine
Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.
Phenylalanine
Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data
Sodium Benzoate
Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
Potassium Sorbate
Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
Hydroxyethylcellulose
Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
