Ingredients explained
- Deionized Water
- Deionized water as primary solvent; inactive but carries other ingredients, purity needed to prevent metal ion interference.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate
- Mild anionic surfactant at 0.5–10%; fine foam, lower irritation than soaps, suitable for gentle cleansing.
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.
- Oryza Sativa Extract
- Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Chondrus Crispus Extract
- Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Glyceryl Glucoside
- Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamide Methyl Mea
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; stable foam, gentle cleansing.
- PEG-160 Sorbitan Triisostearate
- Not decoded yet
- Maltooligosyl Glucoside
- Hydrophilic humectant and film former at 0.1–1%; low irritation, suitable for all skin types
- Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate
- Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
