Formulation view Water-based formula using SLES and cocamidopropyl betaine for foaming, boosted by gentle coco-glucoside. Includes zinc sulfate and polyquaternium-7 for conditioning and moisture. Best for oily or oil-control needs. Formulator's note: Zinc suggests sebum management, but SLES irritation requires balancing with mild surfactants, resulting in high cleansing power.

- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Lactic Acid
