Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil
- Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization
- Pelargonium Graveolens Oil
- Pelargonium graveolens oil containing citronellol and geraniol; used as perfuming agent, contains labeled allergens requiring compliance checks.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Pantolactone
- Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate
- Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, hair conditioning and preservative; restricted concentration
