Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Lactococcus Ferment Lysate
- Lactococcus lysate; provides amino acids and polysaccharides for moisture, fermentation reduces allergens.
- Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate
- Gentle emulsifier for O/W systems; refreshing feel, good biodegradability
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract
- Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Pantolactone
- Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
