Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Panthenol

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

Sodium Citrate

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

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Alcohol

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

Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract

Bearberry leaf extract; astringent/soothing, for sensitive skin, strict concentration control.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.

Calcium Gluconate

Chelator and conditioner, improves stability; water-soluble calcium source

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.

Citrus Grandis Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract; botanical astringent and tonic, contains essential oils, monitor allergenicity, cautious for sensitive skin.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Glyoxal

Prohibited allergen; max 0.1% limit; shall not be placed on market in concentrations >= 0.1%.

Hexylene Glycol

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

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans

Hydrolyzed GAGs for hydration/conditioning; low MW, good penetration, low irritancy.

Hydroxyethylcellulose

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

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Isopropyl Cloprostenate

Not decoded yet

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Pca

Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Polysorbate 20

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

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Yeast Extract

Yeast extract for skin care and protection; common, low allergy risk

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers
