Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cocoamidopropyl Betaine
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Lauryl Glycol Carboxylate
- Not decoded yet
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Piroctone olamine
- Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.
- Hydroxyethyl Urea
- Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Maltitol
- Sugar alcohol humectant and emollient; tacky at high levels, limit load.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine
- Amino acid-based humectant with moisture-binding properties; low irritancy, improves skin feel and hydration.
- Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate
- Waxy emollient for feel enhancement; increases viscosity at high levels.
- Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin
- Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.
- Hinokitiol
- Natural antistatic and hair conditioner; low irritancy, comedogenicity data not publicly available
- Conchiolin Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Protein
- Not decoded yet
- Soluble collagen
- Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film
- Dipropylene glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- PEG-2 LAURATE
- Not decoded yet
- PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24
- Nonionic emulsifier/solubilizer; low foam, mild, for emulsions, avoid with soaps to prevent precipitation
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Ammonium lactate
- Buffering, humectant, and keratolytic agent; pH adjustor, dosage based on buffering needs.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
