Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil
- Hydrogenated jojoba oil, emollient; lower comedogenicity than native oil
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Citrus Limon Peel Extract
- Lemon peel extract rich in flavonoids for conditioning and antioxidant; check for furanocoumarins, caution for sensitive skin.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Extract
- Extract with essential oil content; acts as binder, emulsion stabilizer, conditioner, thickener, and perfuming agent. Potential allergen.
- Punica Granatum Extract
- Pomegranate extract containing polyphenols; offers antioxidant and skin-protecting properties, often used in brightening formulas.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- 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
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Diazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Ci 15850
- Synthetic dye, red 57; restricted to hair dyeing in EU, not for topical cosmetics.
- Bcc12-Base
- Not decoded yet
