Ingredients explained
- Sorbitol Solution
- Sorbitol solution; humectant; high levels are hygroscopic/tacky, pair with occlusives.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Silicon Dioxide
- Silica as an adsorbent and thickener for oil control and texture; high concentrations may clog pores.
- Potassium Nitrate
- Oral care agent for whitening/desensitization; oxidizing, avoid reducing agents/phenols.
- Sodium Tripolyhosphate
- Not decoded yet
- Macrogol 300
- Not decoded yet
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentration
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
