Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Potassium Laureth Phosphate
- Mild surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; lower irritation than sulfates, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Potassium Lauryl Phosphate
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Hedera Helix Extract
- Plant polyphenol conditioner, soothing and astringent; safe for sensitive skin
- Citrus Grandis Peel Oil
- Grapefruit peel oil for fragrance; EU restricted, sensitizing properties, used as fragrance.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent
- Punica Granatum Fruit Extract
- Pomegranate extract for antioxidant conditioning; polyphenols may stain, need stabilizers.
- Hydrolyzed Milk Protein
- Hydrolyzed milk protein, moisturizer; label for lactose/milk protein allergy
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
