Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

PVP

Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.

Behentrimonium Chloride

Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.

Cetrimonium Chloride

Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Perfluorononyl Dimethicone

Perfluorononyl dimethicone; provides superior slip and persistence, PFAS compounds face increasing regulatory and ESG constraints

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Isopropanol

Solvent and volatile drying agent; irritating, flammable, dries skin

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Linum Usitatissimum Seed Extract

Flaxseed extract for moisture and natural aroma; contains oleic acid with moderate comedogenicity, limit levels for oily skin.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Vinyl Caprolactam/Vp/Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer

Cationic copolymer for styling and conditioning; incompatible with anionic surfactants, often paired with DMDM Hydantoin.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil

Prickly pear seed oil; rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid; emollient; oxidation-prone, store away from light

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Caprylic Acid

Medium-chain fatty acid with preservative boost and emulsification; distinct odor, irritant at high levels.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Hylocereus Undatus Fruit Extract

Hylocereus undatus fruit extract. Provides antioxidants and hydration. Complex natural composition requires stability testing; potential protein allergens.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
