Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Cocoyl Adipic Acid/Trimethylolpropane Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Lactobacillus/Papaya Fruit Ferment Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Carica Papaya Seed Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Carica Papaya Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract for nourishment and antioxidant benefits; used as a low-concentration additive.
- Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract
- Lotus extract, traditional sedative; limited data, use as secondary functional ingredient.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Citrus Tangerina Peel Extract
- Tangerine peel extract; astringent; furanocoumarins pose photosensitivity risk
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Extract
- Extract with essential oil content; acts as binder, emulsion stabilizer, conditioner, thickener, and perfuming agent. Potential allergen.
- Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
- Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Quartz
- Mineral abrasive for physical exfoliation; particle size and polish critical, high hardness may damage stratum corneum.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Lightweight emollient, low viscosity, refreshes skin feel, high compatibility.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Red 40
- Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists
- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
