Formulation view Gentle exfoliating scrub with water base. Coco-glucoside and coco-betaine offer low-irritation cleansing. Microcrystalline cellulose provides physical scrubbing; lactic acid aids metabolism. Acrylates copolymer and cellulose adjust rheology. Ideal for oily skin regular exfoliation. Formulators note inorganic particles need even dispersion to prevent over-exfoliation, while acidic pH supports barrier health.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzophenone-4
- Not decoded yet
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Ci 77289
- Synthetic color lake, green pigment; EU Restriction IV/130, not for ophthalmic products, may cause photosensitivity or staining
