Formulation view Water-based alcohol primer with denatured alcohol for quick-drying effects, combined with cationic conditioners and amino acids for hydration. Preserved with Phenoxyethanol, featuring Hydrolyzed Wheat/Silk Protein, Goji Extract, and Symphytum Officinale. Ideal for oily or combination skin. Formulator observation: The synergy between alcohol and cationic conditioners enhances smoothness, though high alcohol concentration may be harsh for extremely dry or sensitive skin.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Polysilicone-29
- Not decoded yet
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Behentrimonium Chloride
- Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Behentrimonium Methosulfate
- Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.
- Quaternium-87
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Lysine
- Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.
- Glutamic Acid
- Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexyl-Glycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin, moisturizer/boosting agent; enhances preservation/moisture, gentle, often combined with humectants.
- Hydrolysed Wheat Protein
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Silk Protein
- Low-molecular-weight moisturizing agent for softness; animal-derived, check for allergen sensitivity
- Goji Berry Extract
- Not decoded yet
- 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
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Symphytum Officinale
- Not decoded yet
- Bambusa Vulgaris Extract
- Bamboo extract for soothing and conditioning; polyphenol-rich, limit concentration to minimize irritation.
