Formulation view Gentle sulfate-free shampoo system led by sodium cocoyl isethionate. Amino silicones and cationic polymers repair cuticles. Glycerin and sunflower seed oil provide nourishment. Suited for damaged or colored hair. Factory perspective: The challenge is maintaining cleansing power without sulfates; surfactant ratios must be optimized to ensure thorough degreasing without scalp dryness, with uniform silicone distribution.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water
Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
Glycerin
Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
Glycol Distearate
Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
Glycereth-26
Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.
Decyl Glucoside
Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
Hydrogenated Coconut Acid
Hydrogenated saturated fatty acid for emulsification and skin conditioning; coconut-derived, low irritancy.
Coco-Betaine
Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
Sodium Benzoate
Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
PPG-5-Ceteth-20
Not decoded yet
Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer
Silicone copolymer for slip and film; occlusive with smooth texture
Sodium Chloride
Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
Polyquaternium-7
Not decoded yet
Amodimethicone
Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
Polyquaternium-10
Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
Sodium Isethionate
Mild surfactant with low foam but good cleaning; ideal for sensitive-skin cleansers.
Propylene Glycol
Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate
Emollient/viscosity modifier for emulsions; contains PEG, monitor PEG-sensitive skin; adjust HLB for stability.
Carbomer
Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
Salicylic Acid
Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
C11-15 Pareth-7
Not decoded yet
Benzoic Acid
Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
Laureth-9
Not decoded yet
Cetyl Alcohol
Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection
Trideceth-12
Not decoded yet
Behentrimonium Methosulfate
Cationic surfactant for conditioning and antistatic; be careful with anionic actives compatibility.
C12-13 Pareth-23
Not decoded yet
Alcohol
Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
Citronellol
Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
Quaternium-33
Not decoded yet
Benzyl Alcohol
Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
C12-13 Pareth-3
Not decoded yet
Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract
Lycium barbarum extract; astringent and conditioner. Use at 1-2%; contains polysaccharides and antioxidants.
Safflower Glucoside
Nonionic surfactant for hair conditioning; improves slip and shine in rinse-off formulas; check cationic compatibility.
Gentiana Lutea Extract/Gentiana Lutea Root Extract
Gentian root extract for soothing and antioxidants; no public comedogenic data, low irritation at low levels
Citric Acid
Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
Sodium Hydroxide
Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
Parfum/Fragrance
Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
