Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Methyl Gluceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- 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.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Coptis Japonica Root Extract
- Coptis root; contains berberine for antibacterial effects, high doses may sensitize, check stability.
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Benzophenone-5
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Extract
- Cacao seed extract; polyphenols. Antioxidant and conditioning, hygroscopic, store in dry conditions.
- Cucurbita Pepo Fruit Extract
- Zucchini fruit extract with vitamins and antioxidants; mild soothing conditioner. Monitor extract stability at low concentrations.
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
