Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water
- Astringent/soothing water with tannins; aqueous, high preservation needs; tannins may irritate
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Acetic Acid
- Provides sourness or buffering; high concentrations are corrosive, pH control is critical in leave-on products
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Cetrimonium Bromide
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for hair products; antistatic, emulsifying, cleansing. Restricted in EU to 0.1% ocular. Incompatible with anionics.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
