Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Decyl Oleate
- Decyl oleate, light ester emollient and solubilizer; refreshing feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for most skin types.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Propylene Glycol Stearate
- Lipophilic humectant and emulsifier at 0.5–5%; very low comedogenicity
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil
- Nutrient-rich emollient with Vit E; low irritancy but relevant for gluten-sensitive; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Calcium Caseinate
- Not decoded yet
- Gevuina Avellana Seed Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Prunus Domestica Seed Oil
- Prune seed oil; high in linolenic acid; natural emollient replacing mineral oils for dry skin
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil
- Camellia seed oil rich in oleic acid and antioxidants for moisturizing; low allergen risk
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil
- Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.
- Potassium Stearate
- Soap-based emulsifier and cleanser; high pH, consider drying for dry skin.
- Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate
- Anionic surfactant with strong foaming and cleansing power; milder than SLS but can still irritate dry skin.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Hydrolyzed Milk Protein
- Hydrolyzed milk protein, moisturizer; label for lactose/milk protein allergy
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
- Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde
- Prohibited in EU cosmetics; restricted due to irritation risks.
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Isoeugenol
