Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Propanediol

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

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol

Hydrolyzed wheat protein and silane derivative; provides conditioning, assess wheat allergy

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

Not decoded yet

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol

Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents

Glycerin

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

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Tocopherol

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

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data

Octyldodecyl Citrate Crosspolymer

Film-forming humectant; forms moisture-locking film; 1-5% typical; good compatibility, used in moisturizers.

Polyglyceryl-10 Dipalmitate

Not decoded yet

Polyglyceryl-10 Dioleate

Nonionic emulsifier for dispersing oils; mind compatibility with cationics.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Cetrimonium Chloride

Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use

Distearyldimonium Chloride

Cationic hair detangler; add with nonionics to reduce tack at high levels.

Behentrimonium Methosulfate

Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Phenoxyethanol

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