Ingredients explained

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Water

Orange peel extract water with natural aroma and polyphenols; used as solvent/conditioner; low photosensitivity but contains essential oils

Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Water

Kiwi fruit water with vitamin C and enzymes; brightening and exfoliating; check AHA content for sensitive skin

Water

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Propylene Glycol

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

Perfluorodecalin

Perfluorodecalin, hydrophobic solvent and glossing agent; used in haircare or dry shampoo, insoluble in water, control usage to avoid greasiness

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Actinidia Deliciosa Fruit Extract

Not decoded yet

Yeast Extract

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

Mimosa Tenuiflora Bark Extract

Soothing and skin protecting; contains flavonoids; for sensitive skin repair; extraction affects activity

Hamamelis Virginiana Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract

Astringent and soothing botanical extract for sensitive or pore care, used at low levels.

Myrtus Communis Extract

Myrtus communis extract, mild astringent and antioxidant; used at low levels, stability requires validation.

Allium Cepa Bulb Extract

Onion bulb extract for skin conditioning; sulfides may be irritating, limit concentration

Hypericum Perforatum Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

St. John's Wort extract. Highly photosensitizing due to hypericins. Strictly for night use or opaque packaging; avoid sun exposure.

Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract

Myrrh resin extract, anti-inflammatory/soothing; natural impurities, verify allergenicity and stability

Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract

Alpine edelweiss flower/leaf extract for skin conditioning; often in soothing claims.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Vinegar

Vinegar containing acetic acid; low pH, use in trace amounts only

Hydrolyzed Silk

Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Serine

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Glycerin

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Rhizobian Gum

Biofilm former and viscosity agent for hair; biocompatible and mild

Lactic Acid

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

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Sodium Salicylate

Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.

Sorbitol

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

Polyperfluoromethylisopropyl Ether

PFAS (fully-fluorinated) film-former for SPF/lip, <1%; regulatory limits, avoid high-heat, substitute recommended

Tea-Lactate

TEA-Lactate; pH adjuster and humectant, potential skin irritation at high levels, control residual amounts.

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Thiamine Hcl

Vitamin B1 hydrochloride; acts as conditioner and fragrance agent, used at low concentrations for skin health and metabolism.

Pyridoxine Hcl

Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate

Poloxamer 188

Amphiphilic copolymer for emulsification/solubilization; often co-emulsifier, slight irritation at high conc.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Alcohol

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
