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
- Lauryl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; foaming and stabilizing. Eye irritation may exceed anionics, use low levels for sensitive skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide
- Non-ionic surfactant enhancing cleansing and emulsification; coconut-derived, gentle
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Cocamidopropyl Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate
- Cationic conditioner reducing hair static, improves dry hair smoothness; compatibility limits with other cationics
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Panthenyl Ethyl Ether
- Hair conditioning agent with antistatic properties, common in hair care
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Laureth-2
- Not decoded yet
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Sodium Sulfite
- Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.
- Hydrolyzed Silk
- Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin
- Avena Sativa Kernel Oil
- Oat kernel oil for skin conditioning; moisturizing, sensitive skin friendly
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract
- Lithospermum erythrorhizon extract; naphthoquinones, 0.1–1%; antimicrobial, stains red, photo-sensitive, isolate light
- FD&C Red No. 4
- Synthetic red dye; restricted or banned in cosmetics in many regions, verify regulatory status
- FD&C Yellow No. 5
- Synthetic yellow dye (tartrazine); heavily restricted or banned in cosmetics, check compliance
- D&C Red No. 33
- Synthetic red dye; restricted in cosmetics, verify lipid compatibility
