Formulation Deep Dive

Ceremonia's Guava Leave-In Conditioner is formulated as a high-performance emulsion designed for deep hydration and cuticle smoothing. The carrier system utilizes a base of water and glycerin, paired with fatty alcohols like stearyl and cetyl alcohol, and plant-based esters such as diheptyl succinate to provide a lightweight, non-greasy finish. The active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of guava extract, coconut oil, and avocado oil for lipid replenishment, while squalane and aloe vera juice enhance moisture retention and barrier support. The formulation is stabilized with a robust polymer network, including acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer and polyquaternium-10, and is protected by a clean-label preservative system comprising phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, potassium sorbate, and sodium benzoate.

Texture Enhancer
Sodium Hydroxypropylsulfonate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer NOT RATED
Tartaric Acid NOT RATED
Potassium Sorbate GOOD
Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations primarily against yeasts and molds, with weaker activity against bacteria. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (effective below roughly pH 6, optimal near pH 4.4), so it is used in low-pH products and is commonly paired with a second preservative such as sodium benzoate for broad-spectrum coverage.
Preservative
Sodium Benzoate GOOD
Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations from yeast, mold, and bacterial spoilage. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (optimal below roughly pH 5), so it is used in low-pH products and frequently paired with potassium sorbate for broader, more robust preservation.
Preservative
Citric Acid GOOD
Acts mainly as a pH adjuster and buffer and as a chelating agent that protects formula stability and preservation; at higher leave-on levels it also serves as a mild exfoliating AHA.
Chelating Agent Exfoliant
