FunctionSolvent

What it is — Aqua/Water/Eau (INCI: Water) is purified water, the primary solvent base of most cosmetic formulas.

What it does — It is commonly used as the base that dissolves and carries other ingredients, giving a formula its overall consistency and spreadability.

Typical use — It is a foundational component across almost every water-based category, from toners and essences to serums and creams.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for all skin and scalp types. It is a base rather than an active, so it does not add a benefit on its own.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a water base with no irritation concern. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - water base/solvent with no irritation concern.
