Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrolyzed Silk
- Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Maris Sal
- Natural mineral skin conditioner for exfoliation or soothing; high concentrations (>5%) may cause dryness due to osmotic pressure.
- Sodium Carrageenan
- Seaweed-derived thickener and stabilizer, 0.5-1.5% adjusts viscosity; sensitive to ions, test compatibility with cationic surfactants.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract
- Lotus flower extract for skin conditioning; no specific irritancy or comedogenic data, generally safe at standard use.
- Orchis Morio Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Rosa Damascena Flower Water
- Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Pelargonium Graveolens Oil
- Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
