Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant; high foaming and stripping power. Can be irritating to eyes and damaged skin

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Glycerin

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Polyquaternium-28

Not decoded yet

Lactitol

Sorbitan-based polyol humectant at 3–10%; gentle, compatible with alcohols; slight tack at high levels.

Xylitol

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

Hydrolyzed Milk Protein

Hydrolyzed milk protein, moisturizer; label for lactose/milk protein allergy

Hydrolyzed Quinoa

Hydrolyzed quinoa for skin conditioning and moisturization; plant-derived small molecules, generally well-tolerated.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Extract

Sunflower seed extract; flavonoids and oleic acid, 0.5–5%; antioxidant repair, match phase, low allergenicity

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data

Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract

Lycium barbarum extract; astringent and conditioner. Use at 1-2%; contains polysaccharides and antioxidants.

Fragaria Ananassa Fruit Extract

Strawberry fruit extract; polyphenols for antioxidant/conditioning; typically <1%.

Carica Papaya Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for nourishment and antioxidant benefits; used as a low-concentration additive.

Saccharum Officinarum Extract

Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate

Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Methylchloroisothiazolinone

Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.

Methylisothiazolinone

Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk

Magnesium Nitrate

Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Citric Acid

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycine

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Benzyl Alcohol

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

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

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.
