Ingredients explained

Water

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

Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane

Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycerin

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

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Hypnea Musciformis Extract

Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens

Gelidiella Acerosa

Hordeum vulgare

Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract

Helianthus Annuus Seedcake

Sunflower seed cake; physical exfoliant and bulking agent. Coarse texture, use caution for sensitive skin, requires homogenization.

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Hydrolyzed Rice Extract

Hydrolyzed rice peptides for moisturizing; gentle for sensitive skin

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Sodium Polyaspartate

Chelating agent and humectant, low irritation; improves surfactant performance in hard water.

PPG-6-DECYLTETRADECETH-30

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Propylene glycol dicaprate

Lightweight emollient ester; replaces mineral oils with non-greasy feel; good for oily skin systems

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Disodium EDTA

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