Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Shea Butter Ethyl Esters
- Shea-derived esters for smooth emolliency; more stable than raw shea butter.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract
- Albizia bark extract; natural fragrance and conditioner, scent may need masking
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Lactobacillus/Dipteryx Odorata Seed Ferment Filtrate
- Not decoded yet
- Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract
- Leontopodium alpinum callus extract; antioxidant, high batch-to-batch variability
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1
- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Hydrolyzed Algin
- Hydrolyzed algin, water-soluble film former; boosts moisture retention, low viscosity contribution
- Eryngium Maritimum Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Piperonyl Glucoside
- Coumarin glycoside; photoprotective and antioxidant, used as auxiliary booster
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Caramel
- Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Vinca Minor Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Lactic Acid/Glycolic Acid Copolymer
- AHA copolymer; exfoliating, requires buffering agents.
- Phenylpropanol
- Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment
- Boswellia Carterii Oil
- Frankincense essential oil; penetrant; high-concentration allergen risk.
- Cymbopogon Martini Oil
- Natural essential oil with distinct aroma; contains allergens requiring safety assessment.
- Polyvinyl Alcohol
- Film/viscosity agent for masks/cleansers; water-soluble, forms flexible film
- Salvia Sclarea Oil
- Clary sage oil, aromatic and tonic; contains ketones, limit usage to avoid irritation
- Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-27
- Not decoded yet
- Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-78
- Not decoded yet
- Palmitoyl Octapeptide-24
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
