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
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- PEG-7 Propylheptyl Ether
- PEG ether solubilizer for oil phase; low irritancy
- 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.
- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
- Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data
- Lysine Hydrochloride
- Not decoded yet
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Disodium Phosphate
- Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.
- Biotin
- Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- 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
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
