Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Paraffin

Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

PVP

Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Cera Microcristallina/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcrystalline

Mineral-based occlusive/structuring wax; non-breathable, use caution in sensitive formulas.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Polysorbate 20

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

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Rhus Verniciflua Peel Wax

Natural wax for gloss and occlusion; high sensitization risk from Rhus, test rigorously.

Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Copernicia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Carnauba

Botanical wax used for hardness and gloss

Stearyl Stearate

Solid ester for slip and body; high melting point, occlusive.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Synthetic Wax

Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.

Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Candelilla

Botanical wax; provides structure, hardness, and film-forming properties for cream structure and moisture barrier

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Hectorite

Clay absorbent and viscosity controller; used in silicone-free hair products.

Simethicone

Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Pantolactone

Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety

Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil

Camellia seed oil; rich in vitamin E/oleic acid, emollient/antioxidant, light texture.

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil

Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.

Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil

Passionflower seed oil; emollient; prone to oxidation, needs protection.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
