Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract
- Ascophyllum nodosum extract, provides hydration and antioxidant protection; usually low concentration as natural functional additive.
- Chlorella Pyrenoidosa Extract
- Chlorella extract with amino acids; skin conditioning at <1%; plant source with low irritation profile
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil
- Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Mixed Tocopherols
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Musa Sapientum Fruit Extract
- Fruit extract for skin conditioning; check formulation stability.
- Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract
- Plant extract with mucilage and saponins; acts as skin emollient and conditioning agent.
