Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Polyester-5

Not decoded yet

Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer

Film former for fixation and moisture retention; use in aqueous phase, control solid content

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

VP/Hexadecene Copolymer

Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.

Euphorbia Cerifera Cera Wax)

Cactus wax; plant-based thickener/occlusive; moderate melting point, use in hand creams

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Aminomethyl Propanediol

Chelator and buffer; ammonia-like odor usually requires fragrance to mask it.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Copernicia Cerifera Cera Wax)

Not decoded yet

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax

Sunflower seed wax for thickness/filming; waxy texture, potential comedogenic at high levels.

Glyceryl Dibehenate

Glycerol dibehenate as emollient and skin conditioner. High-carbon chain ester providing slip; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.

Eriophorum Spissum Flower/Stem Extract

Botanical extract for skin conditioning; low inclusion, requires preservation

Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables

Olive oil unsaponifiables; rich in squalene and vitamin E. Use at 1-2% for repair; stable.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Glyceryl Rosinate

Film former and fixative, 0.1–0.5%; prone to oxidation and yellowing, add antioxidants

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Hectorite

Clay absorbent and viscosity controller; used in silicone-free hair products.

Pectin

Natural polysaccharide binder/stabilizer for gels; incompatible with cationics

Propanediol

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

PEG-8

Not decoded yet

Rhus Verniciflua Peel Cera

Not decoded yet

Shorea Robusta Resin

Katha bark resin rich in tannins used as a tonic; high phenol content may cause phototoxicity or darkening.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Glycerin

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

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Peptide conditioning agent; control pH to prevent degradation, used in hair and skin care.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Citric Acid

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Ultramarines

Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
