Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Bifida Ferment Lysate
- Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin
- Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract
- Coconut fruit extract at 0.1–5%; moisturizing, caution for oily skin at high levels
- Avena Strigosa Seed Extract
- Oat seed extract; rich in beta-glucan; hydration and sensitive skin soothing; water-soluble barrier repair
- Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract
- Oregano extract with antimicrobial properties; high doses may irritate.
- Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract
- Plant leaf extract containing essential oils for skin conditioning and soothing; dilute concentrated extracts to avoid irritation.
- Salix Alba Bark Extract
- Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.
- Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract
- Ferment extract with amino acids and peptides for skin conditioning; monitor microbial stability and watch for allergens.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract
- Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses
- Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract
- Cinnamon bark for hair and fragrance; some allergens require labeling; watch oral dosage.
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract
- Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
