Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether
- Perfluoroether solvent; rapid evaporation, oil-free; high volatility at low temp; pair with odor-masking.
- Methyl Perfluoroisobutyl Ether
- Perfluoroether solvent; high volatility for sprays/fast-dry; check environmental restrictions.
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Sodium bicarbonate; buffer and deodorant; alkaline at high pH, potential irritation, control dosage
- Citrus Reticulata Peel Oil
- Citrus oil for scent; high phototoxicity means low use in daytime products.
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil
- Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Laurylpyridinium Chloride
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
