Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic cleanser and foaming agent for gentle, low-irritation formulations.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- 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
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Polyethylene Wax
- Not decoded yet
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- PEG-60 Almond Glycerides
- Gentle almond-based PEG emulsifier; good for sensitive skin, monitor PEG hydrolysis
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid
- Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability
- Oleanolic Acid
- Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.
- Hydrolyzed Oat Protein
- Hydrolyzed Oat Protein; small peptides for static control, hair/skin conditioning, soothing.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Farnesol
- Farnesol, a fixative and deodorant; listed as a EU 26 allergen, requires labeling, potential sensitizer.
- Glyceryl Laurate
- Glyceryl laurate, emollient and emulsifier; plant-derived, gentle, low comedogenicity, suitable for cream systems.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Diazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
