Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- 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
- Coco-glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Glyceryl oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Hydrogenated starch hydrolysate
- Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination
- Opuntia Ficus-indica Stem Extract
- Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data
- 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
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate
- Hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate emollient for smoothness and richness.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Benzoate
