Formulation view Hybrid cleanser combining saponified fatty acids (lauric/palm/stearic) with mild amphoteric surfactants for balanced foam. Beeswax and botanicals like centella offer soothing properties. Suitable for most skin types. Formulators note the soap base provides strong cleansing but high pH, so surfactant blending aims to balance efficacy and barrier compatibility.

Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Lauryl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; easy to rinse, low sensitization risk. Often used in shampoos and sensitive skin cleansers
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Chamomilla Recutita Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
- Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.
- Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract
- Morinda fruit extract containing phenolics, claimed for antioxidant and brightening effects; botanical extract variability requires strict internal QC standards.
- Coptis Japonica Root Extract
- Coptis root; contains berberine for antibacterial effects, high doses may sensitize, check stability.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract
- Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract
- Tea tree (Melaleuca) extract for emollient skin conditioning; monitor sensitivity.
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract
- Eggplant fruit extract for skin conditioning; watch for batch consistency and potential allergenicity.
- Bambusa Vulgaris Extract
- Bamboo extract for soothing and conditioning; polyphenol-rich, limit concentration to minimize irritation.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Propolis Extract
- Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
