Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil
- Camellia seed oil rich in oleic acid and antioxidants for moisturizing; low allergen risk
- Sucrose Distearate
- Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Sucrose Stearate
- Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Diazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users
- Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract
- Centaurea flower extract with flavonoids; astringent and conditioning, mild risk at high levels.
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol
- Dichlorobenzyl alcohol, preservative and antimicrobial; restricted V/22, check compatibility.
- Plantago Ovata Seed Extract
- Psyllium seed extract, skin conditioner rich in mucilage; high levels may increase viscosity.
- Symphytum Officinale Rhizome/Root Extract
- Comfrey root extract for repair and conditioning; botanical source, assess sensitive skin tolerance.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Acacia Decurrens Extract
- Green wattle extract, astringent and skin conditioning; watch botanical batch variance.
- Citrus Aurantium Amara Oil
- Citrus aurantium amara oil, essential oil, used as fragrance; contains sensitizing components such as limonene, easily sensitizing at high concentrations, sensitive skin should use cautiously.
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Rosa Damascena Flower Oil
- Rose essential oil with strong scent; contains allergens, requires IFRA compliance.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Glutamine
- Amino acid used for hair and skin conditioning; offers antistatic and moisturizing synergy.
- Leucine
- Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Sodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritating
- Yeast Extract
- Yeast extract for skin care and protection; common, low allergy risk
