Ingredients explained
- Aqua (Water
- Primary solvent; requires preservatives at high concentration; adjust viscosity with thickeners
- Eau)
- Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation
- Hydrofluorocarbon 152A
- Aerosol propellant for spray packaging; high GWP, being phased out; not for oral or ocular use
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Huile Minérale)
- Not decoded yet
- Alpha Keratin
- Not decoded yet
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for repair and soothing; contains asiaticoside, good for barrier
- Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Cetrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use
- Behentrimonium Methosulfate
- Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Hydroxycitronellal
- Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
