Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Vp/Methacrylamide/Vinyl Imidazole Copolymer
- Water-repellent film former for hair fixatives; requires alcohol/water solubilization, leaves residue
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Extract
- Sunflower seed extract; flavonoids and oleic acid, 0.5–5%; antioxidant repair, match phase, low allergenicity
- Hydrolyzed Quinoa
- Hydrolyzed quinoa for skin conditioning and moisturization; plant-derived small molecules, generally well-tolerated.
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol
- Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer
- Film former for fixation and moisture retention; use in aqueous phase, control solid content
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Phenylpropanol
- Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment
- 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.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde
- Prohibited in EU cosmetics; restricted due to irritation risks.
