Ingredients explained
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Nelumbo Nucifera Root Water
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Sodium Acrylates Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former for styling and thickening; check residual acryloyl chloride for sensitive skin.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Hordeum Vulgare Seed Extract
- Barley seed extract for humectancy and skin conditioning. Plant polysaccharides, well-tolerated, no specific compatibility issues.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Prunus Persica Juice
- Peach juice, natural humectant and conditioner; complex, needs preservation, oxidizes.
- Pyrus Malus Juice
- Apple juice, contains fruit acids; conditioning, stabilize against oxidation
- Triticum Vulgare Seed Extract
- Wheat seed extract with protein buffering; caution for gluten-sensitive users
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Panax Ginseng Root Extract
- Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Trihydroxystearin
- Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning
- Achillea Millefolium Extract
- Yarrow extract; chrysogenic content for soothing; contains essential oil components, assess phototoxicity and allergens
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Menthyl Lactate
- Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Glucomannan
- Glucomannan; thickener and humectant. High-MW, boosts gel and film feel, hygroscopic.
