Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Cetyl Triethylmonium Dimethicone PEG-8 Succinate
- Not decoded yet
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Maltodextrin/Vp Copolymer
- Maltodextrin/VP copolymer, film-forming thickener; transparent film, moderate humectancy
- Polyquaternium-72
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Quaternium-80
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Quinoa
- Hydrolyzed quinoa for skin conditioning and moisturization; plant-derived small molecules, generally well-tolerated.
- Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
- Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol
- Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil
- Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil
- Kukui nut oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids; provides moisture and conditioning, no clear comedogenic data.
- Dimethicone PEG-8 Meadowfoamate
- Silicone and meadowfoam blend for emollience and smoothness, PEG and silicone containing, needs emulsion stability.
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- PPG-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- T-Butyl Alcohol
- Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage
- Sodium Coco Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate
- Not decoded yet
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- 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
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Denatonium Benzoate
- Industrial denaturant to alter scent and prevent ingestion; not intended for cosmetic use, verify source compliance.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
