Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Polyquaternium-11
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-37
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate
- PPG-3 benzyl ether myristate, emollient emulsifier; contains PEG-like structure, low viscosity solvent, check ionic compatibility.
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Isoceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxypropyl Bis-Hydroxyethyldimonium Chloride
- Amphoteric cationic polymer for humectancy and skin conditioning. Water-soluble, compatible with other cations; may be tacky at high levels.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products
- Sericin
- Animal-derived silk protein, used for anti-static and hair/skin conditioning; provides smoothness and repair.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Cetrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Hydroxycitronellal
- Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
