Formulation view Sulfate and glucoside cleansing system balances oil removal and mildness, with oat amino acid surfactants reducing irritation. Macadamia oil, chia extract, and hyaluronic acid support the barrier; guar gum adjusts rheology. Suited for oily scalps needing strong cleansing; sensitive skin should note potential sulfate irritation, while dry scalps may use less frequently.

Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sorbeth-230 Tetraoleate
- Sorbeth-230 tetraoleate, anionic emulsifier for lotions and cleansers; gentle cleansing and emulsion stability.
- Isopentyldiol
- Solvent at 1–10%; helps dissolve actives, fresh feel
- Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil
- Light emollient rich in oleic acid; suitable for dry/sensitive skin, pairs well with occlusives.
- Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids
- Oat amino acid surfactant; gentle cleansing and conditioning
- Sorbitan Laurate
- O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Helianthus Annuus Extract
- Sunflower extract; oleic/vit E rich; emollient, low irrit, good for dry skin, no pub comed data
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Oryza Sativa Bran Extract
- Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Sodium bicarbonate; buffer and deodorant; alkaline at high pH, potential irritation, control dosage
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Polyquaternium-51
- 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%.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Triacetin
- Triglyceride acetate solvent/plasticizer; low viscosity, high volatility, may dry skin if unbalanced.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
