Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Ethylhexyl Stearate
- Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- PPG-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- Steareth-2
- Not decoded yet
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Lysine
- Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Potassium Chloride
- Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Zinc Chloride
- Antimicrobial astringent for oral care; usage levels are restricted.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
