Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glycine Soja Protein
- Soy-based emulsifier and conditioner; improves feel and hair shine, contains allergenic soy protein
- Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
- Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.
- Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
- Antioxidant and microcirculation modifier rich in flavonoids; requires stability testing to prevent oxidation
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Dextran Sulfate
- Anionic thickener at 0.1-2% for gels; water-soluble, check compatibility with other ionic surfactants
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
