Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Propanediol

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

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Citrus Junos Seed Extract

Antioxidant seed extract; be mindful of potential allergens and phototoxicity from citrus essential oils.

Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract providing fragrance

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract

Mangosteen peel extract, rich in polyphenols/alpha-gallic acid; antioxidant/skin conditioning, monitor for color changes.

Hamamelis Virginiana Water

Hamamelis water; tannins/flavonoids for astringent and soothing; low conc, generally well-tolerated

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Capryloyl Glycine

Functional surfactant with seborrhea-control properties; suited for oily or acne-prone skin.

Sarcosine

Sarcosine, skin conditioning/pH buffer; check charge interaction with cationic surfactants.

Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract

Antimicrobial and antioxidant extract; strictly limit dosage due to potential irritation

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Brassica Campestris Seed Oil

Emollient oil rich in Omega-9 and antioxidants, 1–5%; prone to oxidation, pair with VE

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

Althaea Officinalis Root Extract

Marshmallow root extract rich in polysaccharides; forms a protective film for moisturizing and soothing skin conditioning.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract

Neem leaf extract; skin conditioning and antioxidant properties; note botanical extract variability.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Sodium Gluconate

Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters

Olive oil PEG-7 esters, gentle emulsifier and emollient containing PEG structure; suitable for creams, monitor PEG allergens and contamination.

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Ci 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
