Formulation view A mild cleanser using cocamidopropyl betaine and disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate as primary surfactants, supplemented with soap-based agents. Contains panthenol for soothing and corn starch for suspension. Preserved by 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol. Suitable for oily or combination skin. Factory observation: The surfactant system balances foam and mildness; attention is needed for salt effects on viscosity and preservative compatibility to avoid irritation.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic cleanser and foaming agent for gentle, low-irritation formulations.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Cocamide Mea
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Laureth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol
- Broad-spectrum preservative with potent biocidal action; usage is strictly capped by regulations (<0.1%), sensitive to halide-sensitive individuals.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde
- Prohibited in EU cosmetics; restricted due to irritation risks.
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
