Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

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

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable

Glycerin

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.

Betaine

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

Glyceryl Distearate

Glyceride emollient/anti-static; oil-soluble, enhances emulsion stability.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Persea Gratissima Oil

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

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Goat Milk

Animal-derived milk with whey/fats; EU restricts certain animal categories, verify compliant sourcing, prone to spoilage needs preservative

Lactose

Low-irritant humectant and skin conditioner, common in gentle formulations.

Milk Protein

Not decoded yet

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Tocopherol

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

Mel Extract (Honey Extract

Not decoded yet

Extrait De Miel)

Not decoded yet

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Helianthus Annuus Extract

Sunflower extract; oleic/vit E rich; emollient, low irrit, good for dry skin, no pub comed data

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Disodium EDTA

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

Caprylhydroxamic Acid

Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
