Formulation view Soap-based cleansing foam using neutralized fatty acids for firm lather, buffered by betaine. Contains salicylic acid for cleansing and allantoin for soothing. Ideal for oily skin needing strong degreasing. Formulator note: Traditional soap bases are alkaline; amphoteric surfactants and moisturizers are added to lower pH irritation, while beeswax balances cleansing power with occlusion.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract
- Cryptomeria leaf extract, humectant & antioxidant; water-soluble, add at low temp to preserve.
- Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract
- Herbal extract for soothing; limited data, patch test recommended, avoid metal ions.
- Saccharomyces Ferment
- Yeast ferment extract with amino acids; skin conditioning agent for texture improvement, ferment filtrates may sensitize
- Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract
- Chamomile extract used for soothing; check for potential sensitizing allergens.
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
