Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Alanyl Glutamine

Dipeptide acting as humectant and skin conditioner; low molecular weight aids penetration; usually used in combination at low concentrations.

Disodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.

Arginine Hcl

Amphoteric amino acid salt, moisturizer and buffer; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.

Sodium Acetate

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

Lactis Proteinum/Whey Protein/Proteine Du Petit Lait

Not decoded yet

Serine

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

Leucine

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

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Potassium Chloride

Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Rhamnose

Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Valine

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

Sodium Pyruvate

Not decoded yet

Lysine Hcl

Lysine HCl, amino acid for hair and skin conditioning, reduces protein loss

Histidine Hcl

Amino acid salt for pH buffering and hair conditioning; gentle buffering system, potential sensitization at high concentrations.

Proline

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

Cysteine Hcl

Not decoded yet

Hydroxyproline

Amino acid derivative for humectancy and skin conditioning; supports collagen metabolism, water-soluble, gentle

Glutamic Acid

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

Asparagine

Non-protein amino acid for humectancy and antistatic effect; water-soluble, slight odor at high levels, check compatibility.

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Inositol

Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin

Adenine

Not decoded yet

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

Glycine

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

Methionine

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

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Phenylalanine

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

Tryptophan

Amino acid for conditioning and antistatic; faint odor.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Isoleucine

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

Sodium Sulfate

Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.

Folic Acid

Folic acid, Vitamin B9, used for skin conditioning to support cellular metabolism

Ferrous Sulfate

Not decoded yet

Calcium Pantothenate

Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners

Thiamine Hcl

Vitamin B1 hydrochloride; acts as conditioner and fragrance agent, used at low concentrations for skin health and metabolism.

Pyridoxine Hcl

Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Thymidine

Not decoded yet

Cyanocobalamin

Vitamin B12 derivative, antioxidant and skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires light-protective packaging, water-soluble

Thioctic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives

Riboflavin

Vitamin B2 for color and skin care; photosensitive, requires light-shielding packaging

Sodium Metasilicate

Sodium Metasilicate

Zinc Sulfate

Antimicrobial and astringent, restricted in oral care; <1% topical, metallic taste, avoid mixing with amino acids

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Guanine

Not decoded yet

Deoxyribose

Not decoded yet

Ribose

Ribose, humectant and skin conditioner; small molecule with high hygroscopicity, blend with other humectants.

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Ammonium Molybdate

Not decoded yet

Ammonium Vanadate

Not decoded yet

Copper Sulfate

Not decoded yet

Manganese Chloride

Inorganic manganese salt; use <0.01% for trace element supplement, avoid excess
