Formulation view Soap-based cleanser where fatty acids react with KOH, buffered with betaine for milder foam. Includes salicylic acid and menthol, ideal for oily to combination skin deep cleansing. Formulator note: classic soap base offers strong cleansing but is alkaline; amino acid co-surfactants balance feel, while salicylic acid boosts oil control, requiring post-wash moisturization.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Cocamide Methyl Mea
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; stable foam, gentle cleansing.
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract
- Herbal extract for seborrhea control, antibacterial action, and oral care; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether
- Cellulose derivative for thickening and emulsion stabilization; cold or hot solubility depends on process, confirm dissolution method.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Isopropyl Methylphenol
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
