Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant; high foaming and stripping power. Can be irritating to eyes and damaged skin
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- 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
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- O-Cymen-5-Ol
- Antioxidant and antimicrobial; low levels for preservation; irritating at high concentrations, restricted use.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative; more stable than ascorbic acid, sensitive to metals and alkali.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract
- Mangosteen peel extract, rich in polyphenols/alpha-gallic acid; antioxidant/skin conditioning, monitor for color changes.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
