Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cetearyl Alcohol*
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glycerin*
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Behentrimonium Methosulfate*
- Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.
- Amaranthus Caudatus Extract*
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Rice Protein*
- Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data
- Glyceryl Laurate*
- Glyceryl laurate, emollient and emulsifier; plant-derived, gentle, low comedogenicity, suitable for cream systems.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil*
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil*
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract*
- Rosemary extract; antimicrobial; photo-toxic and allergen risks.
- Citrus Aurantifolia Oil*
- Bitter orange essential oil; fragrance and conditioning. Phototoxic; use in AM formulas requires sun protection. EU restricted.
- Microcitrus Australis Fruit Extract*
- Australian finger lime extract for skin conditioning; minimal photosensitivity
- Microcitrus Australasica Fruit Extract*
- Citrus fruit extract for antioxidant and fresh feel; potential allergen
- Citrus Glauca Fruit Extract*
- Citrus glauca fruit extract; contains essential oils, allergen and photosensitivity risk, caution for sensitive skin
- Starch Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride*
- Cationic starch derivative for emulsion stability and conditioning; may precipitate with anionic surfactants, test compatibility
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Fragrance *
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Citric Acid*
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Lactic Acid*
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Sodium Acetate
- Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Polyquaternium-10*
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Limonene^
