- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil
- Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Persea Gratissima Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil
- Sesame seed oil for skin and hair conditioning, natural fragrance; prone to oxidation, keep dark
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate
- Ester-based emulsifier and emollient with dual-phase potential; high levels may cause slippery feel, combine with others
- Polyglyceryl-10 Behenate/Eicosadioate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, gentle, 1-3%; PEG-free, infant/sensitive safe, blend with others.
- Glyceryl Stearate Se
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
