Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Diheptyl Succinate
- Light emollient ester; refreshing non-greasy feel, often replaces heavier mineral oils.
- Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer
- Film-forming conditioner for hair/skin protection; hydrophobic, pair with water phase
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Chondrus Crispus Extract
- Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive
- Buglossoides Arvensis Seed Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Lithothamnion Calcareum Extract
- Red algae extract rich in calcium; used for moisturizing and soothing; verify dose
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

- Not decoded yet
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Nyctanthes Arbor-Tristis Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Cananga Odorata Flower Oil
- Ylang-ylang essential oil, natural fragrance; contains multiple allergens, restrict usage per EU regulations, avoid for sensitive skin
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract
- Extract for color and conditioning; watch dark batches in clear systems
- Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for moisture, anti-static, and barrier repair.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Citrus Aurantium Amara Leaf/Twig Oil
- Bitter orange oil for fragrance/flavor; essential oil with allergens, cautious for photosensitizing areas.
- Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil
- Essential oil, scent regulator; III/351 allergen, labeling required.
