Ingredients Overview
Ingredients List
Purified Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Stearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate-80
Key Ingredients
Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol
Ingredients Details
Cetyl Alcohol
Common Name(s): 1-hexadecanol,palmityl alcohol,n-cetyl alcohol
CAS Number: 36653-82-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides c16 fatty alcohol emolliency and thickening for well-textured cosmetic emulsions.
Why It's Used: Lighter-textured fatty alcohol alternative to stearyl alcohol for creams and conditioners requiring less heavy emolliency.
How It Works: C16 chain length provides slightly lower melting point (49°c) than stearyl (60°c) giving softer, lighter emulsion texture. forms lamellar networks for thickening and stability. direct skin and hair conditioning via fatty alcohol film.
Typically Found In: Creams,hair conditioners,lotions
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – fatty alcohol
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%–15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – from vegetable or coconut/palm fatty acids
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 – low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Cetyl alcohol's c16 chain length is at the approximate thermal transition point for fatty alcohol lamellar crystallization at skin temperature (33°c). this transition (from ordered crystalline to disordered liquid phase near skin temperature) provides the characteristic 'melts on application' sensory profile that makes cetyl alcohol-containing products feel cooling and light on initial application.

Phenoxyethanol
Common Name(s): 2-phenoxyethanol,rose ether,ethylene glycol monophenyl ether
CAS Number: 122-99-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Prevents microbial contamination and spoilage in cosmetic formulations.
Why It's Used: The benchmark cosmetic preservative – eu-permitted up to 1%, effective against virtually all cosmetically relevant microorganisms, and excellent tolerability.
How It Works: Phenol ring provides broad antimicrobial activity via disruption of bacterial and fungal cell membranes and inhibition of enzymatic activity. effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts (candida), and molds (aspergillus). activity ph range: 3-9.
Typically Found In: All cosmetic formulations as primary preservative
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – broad-spectrum preservative
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–1% (eu max 1%)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu cosmetics regulation max 1%. sccs assessed as safe at ≤1%. avoid use around eyes in baby products per some country regulations. ewg score: 4.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phenoxyethanol's widespread adoption as the primary cosmetic preservative followed the phaseout of parabens from many formulations in the 2000s-2010s. despite having a comparable or better safety profile to parabens, it is often cited in 'free-from' formulations – a consumer perception issue rather than a scientific safety concern.

Propylene Glycol
Common Name(s): 1,2-propanediol,pdg,propane-1,2-diol
CAS Number: 57-55-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides humectant hydration alongside solubilization of water-soluble actives and preservation boosting.
Why It's Used: Multi-function glycol for comprehensive formulation utility: hydration, solubilization, and preservation in a single cost-effective ingredient.
How It Works: Two hydroxyl groups provide water binding for humectant activity. propylene backbone provides solvent capacity for both polar and moderately non-polar actives. antimicrobial activity via membrane disruption enhancing preservative systems.
Typically Found In: Moisturizers,serums,toners,almost all aqueous formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – glycol humectant / solvent
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%–15%
SOURCING & ETHICS

Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 – low to moderate; potential sensitizer in sensitive individuals at high concentrations
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Propylene glycol's dual polarity (two hydroxyl groups + propylene hydrocarbon backbone) enables dissolution of ingredients spanning a wide hydrophilicity range – from highly polar actives (amino acids, glycerin) to moderately lipophilic actives (salicylic acid, retinol). this broad solubility range makes it uniquely versatile as a cosmetic solvent.
