Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Glycerin

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

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

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

Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Aromatic hydrosol base; provides scent and conditioning benefits.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides

Hydrogenated vegetable glycerides

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38

Palmitoyl tripeptide; signaling peptide for collagen and antioxidants; 0.1-1% typical, light-sensitive

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol; antioxidant and conditioning. Often an A-alternative, prone to oxidation and color shift, needs stabilization.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil

Light emollient oil rich in oleic acid; moderate comedogenic risk.

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract

Botanical leaf extract used as a conditioning agent; public irritancy and comedogenic data unavailable, monitor botanical consistency.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract

Giant kelp extract; moisturizing polysaccharides; ocean theme, check for marine allergies.

Citrus Limon Peel Extract

Lemon peel extract rich in flavonoids for conditioning and antioxidant; check for furanocoumarins, caution for sensitive skin.

Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Candelilla

Botanical wax; provides structure, hardness, and film-forming properties for cream structure and moisture barrier

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Citric Acid

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

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Olive Oil Decyl Esters

Not decoded yet

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
