Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Menthyl Lactate

Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Menthol

Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Methylchloroisothiazolinone

Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.

Methylisothiazolinone

Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract

Pomelo extract with astringent and skin-conditioning properties; contains phototoxic citrus components, assess risk for daytime use.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
