Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
- Hydrogenated soybean oil for emollience; slightly higher allergen risk than refined.
- Pumice
- Inorganic abrasive for physical exfoliation; particle size critical to avoid damage.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Illite
- Mineral powder offering slip and coverage. Iron content may introduce slight color variation to the formula.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Bark Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Panax Ginseng Root
- Not decoded yet
- Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract
- Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract
- Bilberry extract with polyphenols for astringency and soothing.
- Saccharum Officinarum Extract
- Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract
- Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.
- Citrus Limon Fruit Extract
- Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.
- Acer Saccharum Extract
- Maple extract; NMF/AA source; gentle humectant, no public irritant/comedogenic data
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Argania Spinosa Nut Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Ceteareth-25
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
- Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals
- 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
