Ingredients explained

Water

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Tamarindus Indica Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Hydroxyethyl Urea

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

Sodium PCA

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

Pca

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

Silanetriol Trehalose Ether

Not decoded yet

Trifolium Pratense Flower Extract

Red clover flower extract; astringent and fragrance, test for sensitization

Glycerin

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Lecithin

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

Glycerin

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

Propylene Glycol

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

Polysorbate 20

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

Water

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

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Lecithin

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

Disodium Rutinyl Disulfate

Not decoded yet

Hydroxyproline

Amino acid derivative for humectancy and skin conditioning; supports collagen metabolism, water-soluble, gentle

Sorbitol

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

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

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

Tocopherol

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

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Citric Acid

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

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Propylene Glycol

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

Pvm/Ma Copolymer

Film former at 1–5%; for styling/hair care, provides lasting effect

Diazolidinyl Urea

Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Caramel

Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Ci 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
