Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Apricot Seed Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Lanolin Anhydrous
- Not decoded yet
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Lanolin Alcohol
- Wool wax alcohol, animal-derived emollient and emulsifier with rich, occlusive feel; strict purification removes sensitization, but animal origin must be labeled.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Olive Oil
- Plant oil base providing emolliency and occlusion; high PUFA content requires antioxidants to prevent oxidation.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
