Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Behentrimonium Chloride

Cationic conditioner and preservative; used within restricted limits, high doses may irritate.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Amodimethicone

Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants

Cetyl Esters

Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Cationic quaternary amine; antistatic/emulsifier; mild conditioning, affinity for keratin, no pub data

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Sarcosine

Sarcosine, skin conditioning/pH buffer; check charge interaction with cationic surfactants.

Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract

Plant extract with mucilage and saponins; acts as skin emollient and conditioning agent.

Sea Water

Natural ingredient with salts; acts as solvent or humectant, high salt content may feel gritty

Helianthus Annuus Extract

Sunflower extract; oleic/vit E rich; emollient, low irrit, good for dry skin, no pub comed data

Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract

Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

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

Stearamine Oxide

Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; potential ocular irritation at high levels, boost preservation.

Isopropyl Alcohol

Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Polysorbate 60

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

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Glycerin

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

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

C11-15 Pareth-7

Not decoded yet

Laureth-9

Not decoded yet

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Cetrimonium Chloride

Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use

Trideceth-15

Not decoded yet

Trideceth 3

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Benzyl Alcohol

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Trideceth-12

Not decoded yet

Quaternium-95

Not decoded yet

Citric Acid

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

Acetic Acid

Provides sourness or buffering; high concentrations are corrosive, pH control is critical in leave-on products

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Cinnamidopropyltrimonium Chloride

Cationic surfactant for antistatic and hair conditioning; provides slip, potential sensitivity to cinnamic groups.

Tocopherol

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

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Butylene Glycol

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

Cystine Bis-Pg-Propyl Silanetriol

Cysteine-modified silanetriol offering smoothing and conditioning for skin and hair.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol

Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents

Disodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer for pH adjustment and preservation; water-soluble; high levels may irritate mucous membranes.

Sodium Phosphate

Phosphate buffer and anti-seborrheic; pH regulator, aids sebum control, high levels are irritating

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
