Formulation view A superfruit conditioning masque using cationic surfactants and fatty alcohols for smoothness. Hydrolyzed rice protein adds shine, while eight botanical extracts provide antioxidants. Panthenol repairs hair. Factory view: High cationic activity requires strict pH and ionic strength control to avoid conflicts with shampoo residues. Multiple fruit extracts increase complexity, necessitating stability validation. Ideal for deep nourishment of dry, frizzy hair.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- 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
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Behentrimonium Methosulfate
- Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
- Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Biotin
- Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Oil
- Classic occlusive emollient for dry/winter formulas; generally low comedogenicity.
- Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil
- Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Mangifera Indica Seed Butter
- Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Cetrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use
- Rubus Idaeus Leaf Extract
- Raspberry leaf extract rich in polyphenols; acts as plant-based skin conditioner; generally low irritancy.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract
- Lycium barbarum extract; astringent and conditioner. Use at 1-2%; contains polysaccharides and antioxidants.
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract
- Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.
- Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract with astringent and skin conditioning properties
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Ipomoea Batatas Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Cinnamidopropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant for antistatic and hair conditioning; provides slip, potential sensitivity to cinnamic groups.
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
