Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Methionine

Sulfur-containing amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; often used in combinations with other amino acids.

Cysteine

Cysteine reducing agent at 1–5% for waving; acidic amino acid, sulfur odor possible, pH buffering needed

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Carnitine Hcl

Not decoded yet

Folic Acid

Folic acid, Vitamin B9, used for skin conditioning to support cellular metabolism

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Niacin

Niacin (B3) smoother; high topological concentrations may cause flushing, often used as co-agent or precursor.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Riboflavin

Vitamin B2 for color and skin care; photosensitive, requires light-shielding packaging

Pantothenic Acid

B5 for antistatic, hair care, and skin barrier; water-soluble, keep light-protected.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Thiamine Hcl

Vitamin B1 hydrochloride; acts as conditioner and fragrance agent, used at low concentrations for skin health and metabolism.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

C12-14 Pareth-12

Not decoded yet

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Citrus Limon Peel Oil

Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Citrus Aurantifolia Oil

Bitter orange essential oil; fragrance and conditioning. Phototoxic; use in AM formulas requires sun protection. EU restricted.

Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil

Pine leaf oil, woody scent; contains peroxides and monoterpenes, may irritate sensitive skin, add at low temps and control total load.

Salvia Officinalis Oil

Sage oil traditionally for tonic use; as essential oil, mind concentration and labeling.

Pogostemon Cablin Oil

Patchouli oil for fragrance; contains patchoulol, potential irritant/allergen, use cautiously.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
