Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Triheptanoin

Triheptanin; 0.5–5% oil phase; non-greasy emollient, low comedogenic, oxidation-resistant, suits light formulas

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

C9-12 Alkane

C9-12 alkanes; solvent and emollient. Lightweight feel, verify source and refining history.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract

Plant extract, 0.1–1%; antioxidant properties, light sensitivity advised.

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol; antioxidant and conditioning. Often an A-alternative, prone to oxidation and color shift, needs stabilization.

Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract

Schisandra fruit extract for skin conditioning; contains lignans, generally well-tolerated.

Hydrolyzed Eragrostis Tef Seed Extract

Anigozanthos Flavidus Flower/Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Ficus Carica Fruit Extract

Fig fruit extract, humectant with polysaccharides and enzymes for skin moisturizing

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract

Morus Alba Fruit Extract

White mulberry fruit extract; antioxidant-rich, used in skincare, generally low irritancy, test on sensitive skin.

Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract

Ginkgo extract, flavonoids for microcirculation, hair/skin conditioning, water/ethanol soluble, caution with anticoagulants

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.

Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract

Coccinia indica fruit extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, low irritation.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Sodium Anisate

Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.

Citric Acid

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

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Lauryl Glucoside

Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract

Bilberry fruit extract with polyphenols for soothing and skin protection, low concentration

Diisopropyl Adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract

Vanilla extract adds scent and soothing; acts as natural fragrance, dose carefully.

Rosa Damascena Extract

Damask rose extract with fragrant compounds; allergens present, declare; high concentration risks sensitivity.

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Extract

Extract with essential oil content; acts as binder, emulsion stabilizer, conditioner, thickener, and perfuming agent. Potential allergen.
