Ingredients explained

Butane

Butane propellant; highly flammable, volatile; requires pressure vessel compliance.

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Butylene Glycol

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

Dimethicone

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

Isobutane

Propellant for aerosol products, flammable; store and transport away from fire sources

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Glycerin

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Hydroxyethylcellulose

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

Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate

Modified starch for oil absorption/films/thickening, 2–8%; mildew risk in high humidity, needs preservatives.

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Menthyl Lactate

Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing

PPG-8-Ceteth-20

Not decoded yet

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Glyceryl Polyacrylate

Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Tocopherol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Sodium Nitrate

Milding agent mainly in oral care (mouthwash/toothpaste); rare in cosmetics.

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
