Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Tribehenin PEG-20 Esters

Non-ionic emulsifier and conditioner with cleansing properties; contains PEG derivative, check compatibility

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Epigallocatechin Gallate

Potent water-soluble polyphenol antioxidant <1%; may affect color stability

Xanthophyll

Carotenoid pigment for coloring; light-sensitive, store protected from light, may discolor at high levels

Cyanocobalamin

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Tea-Lactate

TEA-Lactate; pH adjuster and humectant, potential skin irritation at high levels, control residual amounts.

Lauryl Diethylenediaminoglycine

Lauryl diethylenediaminoglycine; amphoteric surfactant for antistatic and hair care, low irritation potential.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Lauryl Aminopropylglycine

Lauryl aminopropylglycine; cationic surfactant for antistatic and hair conditioning, gentle profile.

Serine

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

Lactic Acid

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

Zea Mays Oil

Corn oil; light emollient and stabilizer. Low comedogenic rating (1). Use at 2-5% as carrier.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
