Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Sodium Cocoamphoacetate
- Mild amphoteric surfactant at 0.5–5%; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin, often paired with anionics.
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Phloretin
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate
- SKIN CONDITIONING
- Sodium Cocoyl Amino Acids
- Mild amino acid surfactant; fine foam, low irritation; blend with other surfactants for cleansing power.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Fructose
- Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrolyzed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Hydrolyzed Gum Acacia, natural colloid for thickening and conditioning, low comedogenic.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum
- Caesalpinia spinosa gum; film former and moisturizer; plant-based thickener, gentle; for gels and emulsions.
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
