Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Dialkylester Ammonium Methosulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine, cationic surfactant, antistatic; precipitates with anionics.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Trilaureth-4 Phosphate
- Mild surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; low irritation profile.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Salix Alba Bark Extract
- Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.
- Piroctone Olamine
- Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Polyquaternium-22
- Not decoded yet
- Propanediol Caprylate
- Propanediol caprylate, antimicrobial ester; antifungal and exfoliating
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
