Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
- Hydrogenated soybean oil for emollience; slightly higher allergen risk than refined.
- Cetyl Esters
- Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract
- Camellia oleifera leaf extract containing tea polyphenols; acts as astringent and skin conditioner, monitor raw material consistency.
- Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract
- Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization
- Citrus Limon Peel Extract
- Lemon peel extract rich in flavonoids for conditioning and antioxidant; check for furanocoumarins, caution for sensitive skin.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA
- Bio-inspired lipid emulsifier/conditioner providing smooth feel; ester-based surfactant.
- Ceramide NG
- Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin
- Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate
- Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.
- PEG-3 Distearate
- PEG-3 distearate, mild emulsifier, low irritation; often blended with other emulsifiers to reduce dosage.
- Laureth-9
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Ceteareth-25
- Not decoded yet
- Piroctone Olamine
- Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.
- Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data
- Quaternium-80
- Not decoded yet
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- 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
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
