- Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract
- Persimmon leaf extract with polyphenols, soothing/antibacterial conditioner; botanical, low concentration use
- Phyllostachis Bambusoides Juice
- Bamboo juice, natural humectant; contains polyphenols, check preservative stability.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
