INCI - Full Breakdown
Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.
Cyclopentasiloxane is a fluid silicone. It’s non-greasy and doesn’t have any scent or color. It evaporates pretty fast which makes this ingredient essential when it comes to making products that have to dry quickly. It also gives a nice silky feeling when you apply the product to the skin and hair. It leaves a thin film that protects the skin after evaporation.
Cyclopentasiloxane is chemically neutral, meaning it doesn’t react with other components.
Potassium Phosphate is an inorganic salt commonly used in cosmetics and skincare formulations. While it’s not a “hero ingredient” like niacinamide or ceramides, it plays important supporting roles that help a product stay stable, comfortable on the skin, and effective.
Potassium Phosphate (often listed as Dipotassium Phosphate or Monopotassium Phosphate depending on its form) is a buffering and chelating agent. In skincare chemistry, it helps regulate and maintain a product's pH balance — a crucial factor for both stability and skin compatibility. It helps to achieve PH balance by preventing the formula from becoming too acidic or too alkaline over time.
Main Functions:
- pH Buffering Agent - Its primary purpose is to stabilize pH. Many active ingredients — such as niacinamide, ceramides, or hyaluronic acid — perform best within a particular pH range. Potassium Phosphate ensures they stay effective throughout the product’s shelf life.
- Stabilizer for Emulsions - In creams and lotions, it helps maintain the stability of emulsions (the blend of water and oils), preventing unwanted separation.
- Enhances Product Comfort - A stable pH often means better skin tolerance. By keeping the formula balanced, Potassium Phosphate indirectly helps reduce the risk of stinging, redness, and irritation, especially in sensitive skin.
- Supports Ingredient Performance - Some actives can lose potency if the formula drifts out of range. Potassium Phosphate keeps the environment optimal, protecting their performance.
Sodium Chloride is a very famous ingredeint also known as Salt. Yes, it’s the same salt you can find on your table. In cosmetics, it is used as a preservative helping the product to live longer. It is also used as a peeling agent in different scrubs. Human contact with this element since ancient times and that's why it is 100% safe.
Arginine is an essential amino acid. It works as an antioxidant when used in skincare products. It also helps the skin to regenerate and stay hydrated. In hair care, it is used to decrease damage from oxidative coloring or bleaching.
