Ingredients explained

Water

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

Glycerin

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

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

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

Coconut Acid

Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsifying; strong surfactant, watch for over-drying in dry skin.

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.

Coco-Betaine

Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate

Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products

Sodium Isethionate

Mild surfactant with low foam but good cleaning; ideal for sensitive-skin cleansers.

Potassium Cocoate

Soap-type anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; watch pH and skin tolerance.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Potassium Benzoate

Potassium benzoate; preservative effective at pH<5.5; efficacy reduced when combined with alcohols

Polyquaternium-67

Not decoded yet

Nelumbo Nucifera Callus Culture Extract

Not decoded yet

Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water

Japanese cypress water used as fragrance/solvent; contains essential oils, sensitivity possible in some.

Citrus Nobilis Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract with fragrance components; astringent, low phototoxicity but caution for sensitive skin

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Cupressus Sempervirens Leaf/Stem Extract

Not decoded yet

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade

Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract

Ivy extract for soothing/astringent skin care; usually acts in synergy.

Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil

Litsaea cubeba fruit oil; distinct aroma, potential irritant; use as essential oil, label fully.

Ribes Nigrum Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Sodium Acetate

Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract

Moringa seed extract rich in antioxidants for skin conditioning; natural extract, watch batch consistency

Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract providing fragrance

Mentha Rotundifolia Leaf Extract

Mentha rotundifolia leaf extract, often used for a refreshing feel; provides cooling and toning effects; contains menthol, high concentrations may irritate eyes and sensitive areas

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Thymus Vulgaris Extract

Thyme extract containing thymol; antimicrobial, conditioning, perfuming. Thymol is a listed EU fragrance allergen; irritant risk.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Polyglutamic Acid

Natural-derived polypeptide for hydration and skin conditioning; often used for long-lasting moisture

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Methionine

Sulfur-containing amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; often used in combinations with other amino acids.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract

Plant leaf extract containing essential oils for skin conditioning and soothing; dilute concentrated extracts to avoid irritation.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Taurine

Taurine; buffering and chelating. Common in shampoos and eye washes, water-soluble.

Ornithine

Amino acid derivative for keratolytic and humectant effects; used at low levels, minimal irritation
