Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Glycerin

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

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

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

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Alpha-Arbutin

Whitening antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase; use 1-2%, avoid strong acids

Niacinamide

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

Rosa Canina Seed Oil

Plant oil rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fats, used at 5-10% for emollience; prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Inositol

Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin

Citrus Medica Limonum Extract

Not decoded yet

Avena Sativa Kernel Extract

Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas

Octyl Palmitate

Low-volatility ester for slip and sheen; moderate comedogenic risk, avoid high loads in acne-prone care.

Phenoxyethanol

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Gotu Kola Extract

Centella extract for repair and collagen support, soothing sensitive skin; suitable for post-procedure and anti-aging formulas.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

C9-11 Pareth-6

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Foeniculum Vulgare Fruit Extract

Fennel fruit extract with emollient and soothing effects; requires low concentration and allergen labeling.

Humulus Lupulus Extract

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

Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract

Lemon balm extract for soothing; volatile oils, low allergy risk, light sensitive.

Viscum Album Leaf Extract
