Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Dipsacus Sylvestris Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- PPG-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Gellan Gum
- Gellan gum; water-soluble polymer; gel former; high transparency, strong gelling, for aqueous phase stability.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Biosaccharide Gum-4
- Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk
- Spiraea Ulmaria Extract
- Astringent/tonic plant extract for skin care; batch-to-batch variability, concentration control recommended
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract
- Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin
- Jania Rubens Extract
- Jania rubens extract with polysaccharides; moisturizing skin conditioner, check algal batch stability.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Lactic Acid/Glycolic Acid Copolymer
- AHA copolymer; exfoliating, requires buffering agents.
- Heptapeptide-15 Palmitate
- Not decoded yet
- Polyvinyl Alcohol
- Film/viscosity agent for masks/cleansers; water-soluble, forms flexible film
- Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 17200/Red 33
