Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Glycerin

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

Methyl Gluceth-20

Mild emulsifier at 0.5-2%; glucose-based, gentle feel, suitable for sensitive skin systems

PEG-75

PEG-based emulsifier for O/W systems; used at 1–5%; PEGs may increase skin permeability, caution for sensitive skin

Pentylene Glycol

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

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Extract

Bitter orange flower extract for soothing and fresh feel; contains fragrance allergens, potential sensitizer

Phenoxyethanol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Polyhydroxystearic acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Sodium carbomer

Carbomer sodium, strong gelling agent; requires neutralization, high thickening power, may interact with cationic actives.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum

Tamarind gum for emulsification & thickening; tacky at high levels

Aluminum hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Propylene carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Amodimethicone

Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants

Disodium EDTA

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

Sodium lauroyl glutamate

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

Alcaligenes Polysaccharides

Bacterial polysaccharide; humectant and emulsion stabilizer; bio-based, low sensitization; verify batch consistency

Parfum

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

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Magnesium chloride

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

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

CI 77007

Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance

CI 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

CI 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

CI 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

CI 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
