Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Lauryl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; foaming and stabilizing. Eye irritation may exceed anionics, use low levels for sensitive skin.
- Ceteareth-60 Myristyl Glycol
- Ceteareth-60 myristyl glycol emulsifier; PEG derivative, high HLB, suitable for emulsifying high oil-phase systems.
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Menthyl Lactate
- Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
