Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- 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.
- Maltitol
- Sugar alcohol humectant and emollient; tacky at high levels, limit load.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-39
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Moroccan Lava Clay
- Not decoded yet
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract
- Centaurea flower extract with flavonoids; astringent and conditioning, mild risk at high levels.
- Prunus Persica Leaf Extract
- Peach leaf extract, used for emollience and moisturizing; a botanical for gentle skin conditioning.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Zostera Marina Extract
- Seaweed extract for skin conditioning; botanical, patch test advised for sensitive skin
