Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Isopentane
- Volatile solvent/propellant for aerosols; flammable, respiratory irritant, not for face/eye products
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Isobutane
- Propellant for aerosol products, flammable; store and transport away from fire sources
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- PEG-23M
- PEG-based emulsifier and thickener; water-soluble, consider permeation and residual levels for sensitive skin.
- PEG-90M
- Polyethylene glycol-based emulsifier and thickener at 0.1–0.5%; highly hydrophilic, may contain trace PEG impurities, caution for sensitive skin
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Ci 45350
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
