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
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Perlite
- Inorganic porous material used as an absorbent and bulking agent; avoid dust inhalation.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil
- Mineral oil, occlusive emollient. Inert and stable; potential for comedogenicity, caution for oily/acne skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Hydrogenated Coconut Acid
- Hydrogenated saturated fatty acid for emulsification and skin conditioning; coconut-derived, low irritancy.
- Ci 77499/Iron Oxides
- Iron oxide black, inorganic pigment for color or coverage; inert and safe, requires fine grinding for texture
- Charcoal Powder
- Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.
- Sodium Isethionate
- Mild surfactant with low foam but good cleaning; ideal for sensitive-skin cleansers.
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Polyglycerin-10
- Not decoded yet
- Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems
- Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate
- Polyglyceryl-10 stearate emulsifier; multi-source, mild, co-emulsifier
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
