Ingredients explained
- Hydroquinone
- Melanin inhibitor restricted in EU cosmetics; primarily industrial or intermediate use; strict compliance required
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Isopropanol
- Solvent and volatile drying agent; irritating, flammable, dries skin
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
- Kojic Acid
- Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; EU limit 1% in water, unstable and requires light protection, potential irritation.
- Sodium Bisulfite
- Reducing agent and preservative in hair waving/straightening; irritating; restricted use
- Hydroxyethyl Ethylcellulose
- Cellulose derivative for thickening and film-forming; use at low levels to avoid tackiness.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Octoxynol-9
- Not decoded yet
- Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid
- Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability
