Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Sodium Coco-Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant; effective cleansing, may cause dryness
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil**
- Not decoded yet
- Oryza Sativa Extract**
- Not decoded yet
- Tephrosia Purpurea* Seed Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Beta Vulgaris Root Extract
- Plant root extract used as a skin conditioning agent to improve skin texture and barrier function.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for 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.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Caramel
- Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate
- Hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate emollient for smoothness and richness.
- Hydrolyzed Corn Starch
- Hygroscopic starch for humidity control/filming; needs preservative, low comedogenicity.
- Hydroxypropyl Oxidized Starch Pg-Trimonium Chloride
- Cationic starch quat; film former & conditioner for hair, often paired with electrolytes
- Polyglyceryl- 4 Caprate
- Not decoded yet
- Starch Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic starch derivative for emulsion stability and conditioning; may precipitate with anionic surfactants, test compatibility
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- P-Anisic Acid
- Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
