Highlights
Free of alcoholFree of parabensFree of mineral oilFree of formaldehyde releasersContains sulfatesContains siliconesContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains essential oils
Formulation view SLES with betaine for strong oil removal. Sodium salicylate aids exfoliation; piroctone olamine controls microbes. Charcoal absorbs oil; dimethicone adds smoothness. Cooling gel texture suits oily/mixed hair; sensitive scalps should test for tolerance.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Piroctone Olamine
- Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Salicylate
- Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tea-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate
- Potent anionic surfactant with strong cleansing power; highly irritating and sensitize risk, requires strict usage limits and buffering.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Tea-Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Laureth-23
- Not decoded yet
- Poloxamer 407
- Not decoded yet
- Charcoal Powder
- Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-4
- Not decoded yet
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
