Formulation view Solid cleansing bar built on mild surfactants like cocamidopropyl betaine. Includes corn starch for oil absorption and petrolatum for occlusion. Fragrance-free, designed for atopic or hyper-sensitive skin. Formulator's note: Lacking aggressive foaming agents, cleansing efficacy relies on proper lathering technique and adequate hydration of the skin.

Ingredients explained
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Disodium Cocamido Mea-Sulfosuccinate
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-150
- Not decoded yet
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Stearyl Heptanoate
- Lipophilic emollient and skin-conditioning agent; improves texture and reduces dryness; high levels may increase greasiness.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
