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.

Cocamide MEA

Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Coffea Arabica Seed Extract

Coffee extract for skin conditioning/antioxidants; contains caffeine, watch sensitivity.

Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract

Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.

Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Extract

Mangosteen extract for antioxidant and skin conditioning

Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract

Lycium barbarum extract; astringent and conditioner. Use at 1-2%; contains polysaccharides and antioxidants.

Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract

Morinda fruit extract containing phenolics, claimed for antioxidant and brightening effects; botanical extract variability requires strict internal QC standards.

Punica Granatum Extract

Pomegranate extract containing polyphenols; offers antioxidant and skin-protecting properties, often used in brightening formulas.

Polyquaternium-7

Not decoded yet

Benzophenone-4

Not decoded yet

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dmdm Hydantoin

Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
