Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Ethyl Macadamiate
- Ethyl ester of macadamia oleic acid; lightweight skin conditioning; low comedogenicity
- Gluconolactone
- Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.
- Lysolecithin
- Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Pullulan
- Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.
- 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
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Citrus Paradisi Peel Oil
- Grapefruit peel oil for fragrance; contains phototoxic furanocoumarins, limit concentration, strict sun protection required
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Malic Acid
- AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Calcium Gluconate
- Chelator and conditioner, improves stability; water-soluble calcium source
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- SH-Oligopeptide-1
- Synthetic short oligopeptide for skin conditioning; generally low irritancy and comedogenicity
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Carbonate
- Sodium carbonate; alkaline buffer and thickener; adjusts pH, corrosive at high levels, control dosage.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.
- Geranium Maculatum Extract
- Geranium extract for toning; botanical actives, watch batch variation and potential allergenicity.
- Honey Extract
- Humectant and skin conditioning agent; hygroscopic, sensitive to pH.
- Panax Ginseng Extract
- Ginseng extract, rich in ginsenosides, antioxidant; traditional ingredient, low levels in cosmetics, patch test for sensitive.
- Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract
- Herbal extract for seborrhea control, antibacterial action, and oral care; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.
- Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract
- Plant extract for soothing and toning; high levels of crude extracts may sensitize.
- Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3
- Not decoded yet
- Dextran
- Polysaccharide for binding; water-soluble requires preservation.
