Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Oil
- Plant seed oil for skin conditioning; rich in fatty acids, prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants.
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil
- Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil
- Sesame seed oil for skin and hair conditioning, natural fragrance; prone to oxidation, keep dark
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Ceteareth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Fructose
- Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Vanilla Planifolia Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Pelargonium Graveolens Oil
- Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Sucrose
- Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Glutamic Acid
- Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
- Hexyl Nicotinate
- Vitamin B3 ester for skin conditioning; typically <1%, check compatibility with acids
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Aspartic Acid
- Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
- Linalool*
- Common fragrance note with floral scent; listed as EU allergen, use at low concentrations
- Citronellol*
- Fragrance allergen in EU 26 list; must be declared if above regulatory threshold
- Geraniol*
- Fragrance allergen in EU 26 list; must be declared if above regulatory threshold
