Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil
- Hydrogenated jojoba oil, emollient; lower comedogenicity than native oil
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil
- Juniper fruit essential oil. Contains camphor and terpinen-4-ol. Camphor is an allergen/neurotoxin; avoid on broken skin, label as essential oil.
- Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate
- Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, hair conditioning and preservative; restricted concentration
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Mentha Piperita Oil
- Peppermint essential oil, strong cooling; highly irritating and sensitizing at high levels; dilute, avoid in sensitive skin.
- Salvia Officinalis Extract
- Sage extract with antioxidants and astringents; high doses may irritate, low levels for sensitive skin.
- Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract
- Rosa centifolia flower extract, astringent and conditioning; limit concentration, cautious for sensitive skin
