Formulation view Volume shampoo using mild amino acid and amphoteric surfactants, enriched with seaweed extracts and jojoba oil. Conditioning via polyquaternium-70. Formulator note: High levels of botanicals increase microbial risk, requiring broad-spectrum preservation; seaweed extracts are ion-sensitive, necessitating pH stability monitoring.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocamide Dipa
- Cocamide DEA; cleanses and conditions; restricted due to potential free DEA content.
- Polyquaternium-70
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Tilia Tomentosa Bud Extract
- Beech bud extract for conditioning; plant extract, patch test for sensitivity.
- Chondrus Crispus Extract
- Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive
- Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract
- Ascophyllum nodosum extract, provides hydration and antioxidant protection; usually low concentration as natural functional additive.
- Laminaria Saccharina Extract
- Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination
- Palmaria Palmata Extract
- Algae extract for barrier protection; concentration supplier-dependent
- Undaria Pinnatifida Extract
- Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate
- New UV filter (UVA/UVB); EU limits 2.8%/1.4%, potential sensitizer, stability required
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Laureth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- PEG-20 Glyceryl Laurate
- PEG-20 glyceryl laurate, mild emulsifier/cleanser; PEGs may have trace dioxane risk, check batch CoA.
- Acrylates/Palmeth-25 Acrylate Copolymer
- Gelling thickener; often used in pre-emulsion water phase, can chelate fragrances
- Linoleic Acid
- Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- 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
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
