Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Butylene Glycol

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

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Sodium Stearate

Sodium stearate, soap-based anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; alkaline, caution for sensitive skin

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Glycerin

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

Oleth-2

Not decoded yet

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water

Bitter orange flower water offering floral fragrance and mild conditioning.

Citrullus Vulgaris Fruit Extract

Watermelon fruit extract, humectant and conditioner; contains sugars, high levels may invite microbial growth

Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract

Strawberry fruit extract; botanical astringent and conditioner, low concentration, offers antioxidant and soothing.

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Lens Esculenta Fruit Extract

Lentil extract; protein/sugar; low-conc conditioning, mild, no pub data

Lens Esculenta Seed Extract

Lentil seed extract with proteins; provides skin protection and conditioning

Cichorium Intybus Root Extract

Chicory root extract with fragrance and skin-conditioning roles; plant-derived, confirm extraction process.

Prunus Domestica Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract

Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data

Lepidium Sativum Sprout Extract

Garden cress sprout extract, plant-based skin conditioner; may cause mild irritation in sensitive skin at high concentrations.

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Sea Water/Maris Aqua/Eau De Mer

Not decoded yet

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

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.

Citric Acid

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
