Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate
- Mild anionic surfactant at 0.5–10%; fine foam, lower irritation than soaps, suitable for gentle cleansing.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
- Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Phenethyl Benzoate
- Gentle preservative alternative to parabens with mild fragrance; low irritancy, but possesses minor allergic potential.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate
- Anionic surfactant for cleansing/foaming; can be irritating at high levels, blend with milder agents
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Dicaprylyl Ether
- Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.
- Lauryl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol for emulsifying and thickening; low comedogenic, mild irritation possible on dry sensitive skin.
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Amodimethicone/Silsesquioxane Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate
- Anionic surfactant for cleansing/foaming; may sensitize, caution for sensitive skin
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Trideceth-5
- Not decoded yet
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Lens Esculenta Seed Extract
- Lentil seed extract with proteins; provides skin protection and conditioning
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Ci 61570 / Green 5
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 19140/Yellow 5
- Not decoded yet
