Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Water
- Hamamelis water; tannins/flavonoids for astringent and soothing; low conc, generally well-tolerated
- Glycereth-26
- Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Coceth-7
- Not decoded yet
- Trideceth-9
- Not decoded yet
- PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-5 Ethylhexanoate
- Low-molecular PEG ester; used as solubilizer or emulsifier; ensure high purity to avoid impurity-related sensitization.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Ormenis Multicaulis Oil
- Plant essential oil for fragrance and tonic effect; potential allergen, use at trace levels
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil
- Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage
- Salvia Officinalis Oil
- Sage oil traditionally for tonic use; as essential oil, mind concentration and labeling.
- 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
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
