Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Methylheptyl Isostearate
- Methylheptyl isostearate, an ester emollient; moderate feel, check stability with high-polarity emulsifiers.
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil
- Kukui nut oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids; provides moisture and conditioning, no clear comedogenic data.
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil
- Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Peg-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract
- Rosa centifolia flower extract, astringent and conditioning; limit concentration, cautious for sensitive skin
- Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract
- Giant kelp extract; moisturizing polysaccharides; ocean theme, check for marine allergies.
- Oryza Sativa Bran Extract
- Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.
- Corallina Officinalis Extract
- Corallina extract, polysaccharide-rich humectant/film former; algal source, batch variation.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Jasminum Officinale Oil
- Jasmine oil containing potent allergens (e.g., jasmine lactone); EU 26 allergen requiring mandatory labeling; high sensitization risk.
- Citrus Grandis Peel Oil
- Grapefruit peel oil for fragrance; EU restricted, sensitizing properties, used as fragrance.
- Zingiber Officinale Root Oil
- Ginger root oil for fragrance; contains gingerols, irritant, use very low concentration, avoid for sensitive skin.
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.
- Glycine Soja Protein
- Soy-based emulsifier and conditioner; improves feel and hair shine, contains allergenic soy protein
- Polyquaternium-37
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glucosamine Hcl
- Glucosamine hydrochloride for anti-static and hair conditioning; highly water-soluble, minimal skin irritation risk.
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Yeast Extract
- Yeast extract for skin care and protection; common, low allergy risk
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Pvp
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Oleth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Butylparaben
- Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Isobutylparaben
- Paraben preservative; used in combination, restricted usage
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
