Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Steartrimonium chloride

Cationic hair conditioner; potential allergen, dosage restricted

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Argania Spinosa Sprout Cell Extract

Not decoded yet

Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract

Cell-culture apple extract for antioxidant skin conditioning

Vitis Vinifera Fruit Cell Extract

Not decoded yet

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract

Plant extract for antioxidant and soothing benefits; natural ingredient requiring batch consistency and allergy monitoring.

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Prunus Domestica Seed Extract

Prunus domestica seed extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived, used at low concentrations, generally well-tolerated.

Argania spinosa Kernel Oil

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

Lupinus Albus Seed Oil

Not decoded yet

Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter

Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.

Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil

Babassu/baobab seed oil, emollient; high oleic/palmitic, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants, store in dark.

Carapa Guaianensis Seed Oil

Carapa guaijensis seed oil, hard vegetable oil for conditioning and deodorizing; waxy, rich feel.

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

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

Mangifera Indica Seed Oil

Mango seed oil, rich in oleic and palmitic acid; strong emollient and occlusive, heavy feel, caution for acne-prone skin.

Butylene Glycol

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

Isomalt

Isomalt humectant; tacky at high levels, non-comedogenic, suitable for sugar-free formulas.

Bis-Behenyl/Isostearyl/Phytosteryl Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate

Synthetic ester moisturizer with excellent emolliency and smooth feel; non-comedogenic, used in premium formulations.

Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate

Waxy emollient for feel enhancement; increases viscosity at high levels.

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Cetrimonium chloride

Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use

Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol

UV absorber with good stability; risk of contact dermatitis, control concentration.

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Tocopherol

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

Etidronic acid

Etidronic acid chelator, restriction III/53 (<0.01%); binds metal ions to prevent oxidative discoloration.

Tetrasodium etidronate

Chelating agent, stabilizer, restricted use, concentration dependent.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Caramel

Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.

Red 33

FD&C Red 33 synthetic dye; verify metal impurities; monitor sensitive users.

Blue 1

Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits
