Formulation view Water-based cleanser combining glycerin with mild surfactants (betaine, MES, amino acid) to reduce irritation while boosting foam. Sunflower and soybean oils add occlusion. Guar gum adjusts viscosity. Formulator note: Strong cleansing action suits oily or combination skin; dry types should limit contact time.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium C12-13 Pareth Sulfate^
- Not decoded yet
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Sodium cocoyl glycinate; mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; precipitate in hard water, use chelators
- Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
- Hydrogenated soybean oil for emollience; slightly higher allergen risk than refined.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate
- Mild anionic surfactant from lauroyl isethionic acid; good cleansing, rich foam, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Sodium Palmitate
- Fatty acid salt for mild emulsification and thickening; high pH or concentration can irritate sensitive skin.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Sodium Isethionate
- Mild surfactant with low foam but good cleaning; ideal for sensitive-skin cleansers.
- Coconut Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsifying; strong surfactant, watch for over-drying in dry skin.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Stearate
- Sodium stearate, soap-based anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; alkaline, caution for sensitive skin
- Sodium Palm Kernelate
- Gentle sodium fatty acid surfactant; mild cleansing with fine lather; common in cleansers and body washes
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Capric Acid
- Short-chain saturated fatty acid for emulsification and mild cleansing; also functions as fragrance ingredient, low irritation, suitable for all skin types.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Tetrasodium Etidronate
- Chelating agent, stabilizer, restricted use, concentration dependent.
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
