Formulation view Formula uses cetyl/stearyl alcohols as emulsifiers with Quat-18 for conditioning. Hyaluronic polymers improve slip, dimethicone adds shine. Preserved with benzyl alcohol and isothiazolinones. Contains fragrances and sensitizers; suitable for oily to combo hair seeking volume, cautious for sensitive scalps. Factory view: balancing cationic polymer and silicone is key for texture, monitoring charge neutrality.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Quaternium-18
- Not decoded yet
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Oleyl Alcohol
- Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- PEG-2M
- Polyethylene glycol 2000 used to control viscosity and stabilize emulsions; hygroscopic, requires preservative compatibility.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- EDTA
- Chelating agent for stability; use metal salts, keep concentration low (<0.1%) to maintain pH.
- Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone
- Amino-modified silicone for hair conditioning; water-soluble, provides slip and anti-static, typical silicone use.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Histidine
- Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract
- Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
