Formulation view Water-based cleanser using strong SLES/SLK sulfate systems, buffered by cocamidopropyl betaine for mildness. Corn starch adjusts texture while botanicals soothe. Ideal for oily skin seeking rich lather. Formulator note: The potent anionic surfactant combination offers high cleansing power, but requires careful balancing with moisturizers and amphoterics to manage post-wash tightness.

Ingredients explained
- Water/Eau
- Water as base solvent; no irritation, but requires preservatives to prevent microbial growth.
- Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract
- Bamboo stem extract; low-concentration skin conditioner, no significant irritancy data.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Potassium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant with higher foaming than sulfate, potentially irritating; use in rinse-off
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- PEG-40 Glyceryl Cocoate
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Mineral Oil/Huile Minerale
- Not decoded yet
- Saponaria Officinalis Extract
- Soapwort extract with saponins, natural cleanser/conditioner; botanical source, assess batch variance.
- Equisetum Arvense Extract
- Horsetail extract; silicic acid and phenols for astringency; contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, control source and purity
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
- Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil
- Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage
- Sodium Coceth Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Potassium Phosphate
- pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
