Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate

Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Sericin

Animal-derived silk protein, used for anti-static and hair/skin conditioning; provides smoothness and repair.

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Astrocaryum Murumuru Flower Extract

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil

Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Polyquaternium-59

Not decoded yet

Polyquaternium-70

Not decoded yet

Amodimethicone

Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants

Lauryl Laurate

Ester emollient; provides slip, stable, low irritation risk.

Polyquaternium-7

Not decoded yet

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate

Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers

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.

Glycol stearate

Glycol stearate emulsifier and thickener; improves texture and feel, generally well-tolerated.

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate

PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Trideceth-12

Not decoded yet

C20-40 pareth-10

Not decoded yet

Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride

Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning

Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride

Diamonium surfactant; superior conditioning for damaged hair, milder than mono

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

PEI-10

Not decoded yet

Synthetic wax

Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Methylchloroisothiazolinone

Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.

Methylisothiazolinone

Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
