Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Potassium Chloride
- Viscosity modifier for gels and shampoos; high concentrations may cause local stinging.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerine
- Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Piroctone Olamine
- Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Etidronic Acid
- Etidronic acid chelator, restriction III/53 (<0.01%); binds metal ions to prevent oxidative discoloration.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Sericin
- Animal-derived silk protein, used for anti-static and hair/skin conditioning; provides smoothness and repair.
- Rosa Gallica Flower Extract
- Rosa gallica flower extract, used as astringent and toner component; water-soluble, low irritancy, no clear comedogenic data, suitable for all skin types.
- Jasminum Officinale Flower Extract
- Jasmine flower extract for fragrance and conditioning; contains allergens, restricted in leave-on products under EU regulations, label required.
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil
- Botanical essential oil for fragrance; contains allergenic constituents, sensitive to reactive skin.
- Cymbopogon Martini Oil
- Natural essential oil with distinct aroma; contains allergens requiring safety assessment.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Coumarin
- Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
- Ci 14700
- Red azo dye restricted to hair dye products only; not for leave-on or general skin care
- Ci 17200
- Acid Red 33 hair dye; restricted use, potential scalp irritation
