Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Zea Mays Oil
- Corn oil; light emollient and stabilizer. Low comedogenic rating (1). Use at 2-5% as carrier.
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.
- Dehydroxanthan Gum
- Modified polymer for emulsion stability and film forming; high viscosity impact.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera
- Safflower seed wax for structure and gloss; balance with oils
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Chondrus Crispus Powder
- Seaweed powder for gentle physical exfoliation; absorbs water; for scrubs and care, no chemical irritation.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Spiraea Ulmaria Flower Extract
- Plant extract for conditioning and soothing; no known allergen risk
- Betula Alba Leaf Extract
- Botanical leaf extract for mild conditioning and fragrance; extremely low concentration, negligible irritation risk.
- Acacia Decurrens Flower Cera
- Acacia decurrens flower wax; emollient and film-forming; wax, pair with oils
- Polyglycerin-3
- Not decoded yet
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
