Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Lauramide Dea
- Cocamide DEA, foam booster/thickener; sensitizing, restricted in EU (≤0.3%); consider alternatives.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Glycol Stearate
- Glycol stearate emulsifier and thickener; improves texture and feel, generally well-tolerated.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Capric Acid
- Short-chain saturated fatty acid for emulsification and mild cleansing; also functions as fragrance ingredient, low irritation, suitable for all skin types.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Nigella Sativa Seed Oil
- Rich in oleic and linolenic acids; emollient and conditioning, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants.
- Prunus Yedoensis Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Ecklonia Cava Extract
- Brown algae extract for skin conditioning; good solubility, low irritation
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Codium Tomentosum Extract
- Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract
- Red algae extract acting as a skin protecting agent, often used for hydration or soothing, check stability.
- Hizikia Fusiforme Extract
- Seaweed extract for hydration; potential allergen, use with caution in sensitive skin.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
