Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine Lactate

Not decoded yet

Behentrimonium Chloride

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

Betaine

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

Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate

Light emollient ester for smooth feel; low comedogenic risk, ideal for clear textures.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Distearyldimonium Chloride

Cationic hair detangler; add with nonionics to reduce tack at high levels.

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning

Menthol

Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil

Light emollient oil with refined feel; low comedogenic, suitable for most skin.

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract

Anemarrhena asphodeloides root extract, soothing/conditioning; herbal, batch consistency needs validation

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin; used as a stabilizer or solubilizer to improve solubility of active ingredients and fragrances

Humulus Lupulus Extract

Hops extract: antimicrobial/antiperspirant/conditioner/fragrance; test on sensitive skin.

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Cysteine

Cysteine reducing agent at 1–5% for waving; acidic amino acid, sulfur odor possible, pH buffering needed

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Cystine

Disulfide bond amino acid for hair repair; mild sulfurous odor, consider masking.

Tryptophan

Amino acid for conditioning and antistatic; faint odor.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
