Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Glycerin

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

Alcohol

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Brassica Alcohol

Brassica alcohol, fatty acid derivative for emollience and thickening; comedogenicity unknown

Decyl Oleate

Decyl oleate, light ester emollient and solubilizer; refreshing feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for most skin types.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Brassicyl Isoleucinate Esylate

Brassicyl isoleucinate esylate for emulsion stabilization and hair conditioning; lipophilic

Levulinic Acid

Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.

Inulin

Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

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

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Arginine

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

Sodium PCA

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

Hydrolyzed Corn Protein

Hydrolysed corn protein conditioner at 1–10%; small peptides, prone to browning, chelators recommended

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

P-Anisic Acid

Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Citric Acid

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

Benzyl Alcohol

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

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

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

Tocopherol

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

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Hydrogenated Vegetable Glycerides Citrate

Vegetable-derived oil ester with emollient and emulsifying properties; improves light stability, 1–5%.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
