Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Steareth-2

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Ethylhexyl Olivate

Emollient ester and emulsifier; provides silky feel in O/W systems, generally mild and non-irritating

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Steareth-21

Not decoded yet

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil Expressed

Sweet orange peel oil; citrus scent; contains photosensitizing furanocoumarins, strictly limit in daytime products.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Lactose

Low-irritant humectant and skin conditioner, common in gentle formulations.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Brassica Campestris Sterols

Rapeseed sterols, plant sterol esters, emollient conditioner at 0.5–3%; rich feel, low comedogenic risk

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables

Oleic unsaponifiables (squalane/phytane); heavy-duty emollients suitable for dry, damaged skin repair

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Cellulose

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