Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract
- Plant extract, 0.1–1%; has antibacterial properties, allergy testing advised.
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
