Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Chamomilla Recutita Extract
- Chamomile, classic soothing/anti-inflammatory; potential allergen for some, contains flavonoids.
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract
- Myrrh resin extract, anti-inflammatory/soothing; natural impurities, verify allergenicity and stability
- Chondrus Crispus Extract
- Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Fragrance *
- Fragrance for scent, may contain EU 26 allergens; assess allergy risk for sensitive individuals, concentration usually <1%.
- Limonene*

- Citronellol*
- Fragrance allergen in EU 26 list; must be declared if above regulatory threshold
- Benzyl Benzoate*
- Low-viscosity clear solvent and fragrance with mild chelating properties; use at low concentrations, note lipophilicity.
- Benzyl Salicylate*
- Fragrance allergen with a sweet floral scent; one of the EU 26 mandatory allergens, assess carefully for sensitive formulas.
- Geraniol*
- Fragrance allergen in EU 26 list; must be declared if above regulatory threshold
