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.
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Glyceryl Polymethacrylate
- Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Peg / Ppg / Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin
- Not decoded yet
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Sodium Pca
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate / Vp Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Camellia Japonica Flower Extract
- Camellia extract for skin emollience; typically a minor conditioning ingredient.
- Zingiber Officinale Root Extract
- Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.
- Olus Oil
- Squalane derivative or plant oil for emollience; specify exact source
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion
- Hdi / Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sodium Acrylates / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Thermus Thermophillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent
- Peg-12
- Not decoded yet
- Camelina Sativa Seed Oil
- Camelina sativa seed oil; rich in ALA and vitamin E; emollient and antioxidant; may feel greasy due to high fatty acid content.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.
- Tetrasodium Edta
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Silanetriol
- Basic silanetriol for hair anti-static and smoothness; must be complexed with polymers for stability
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Biotin
- Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
