Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium Coco-Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant; effective cleansing, may cause dryness
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil *
- Heavy emollient oil rich in vitamin E and squalene for barrier repair; suits dry skin, may feel greasy.
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
