Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil

Sesame seed oil for skin and hair conditioning, natural fragrance; prone to oxidation, keep dark

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily 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

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Ethylhexyl Isononanoate

Light synthetic ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; low irritation, non-comedogenic

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides

Hydrogenated vegetable glycerides

Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier with moderate water solubility, used as anti-static and skin feel modifier

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

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Hydrolyzed Pumpkin Seedcake

Not decoded yet

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Citric Acid

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract

Baobab fruit extract focused on antioxidant and soothing effects; stability should be monitored, minor protein sensitivity risk.

Sodium Citrate

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

Pantolactone

Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
