Formulation view Aqueous cleanser with alcohol and polyols for solubility, aloe and oat extracts for soothing. Disodium cocoamphodiacetate ensures mild cleansing; dipotassium glycyrrhizinate reduces inflammation. Contains trace pigments and PEG components for texture adjustment. Suitable for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. Formulator's observation: The inclusion of CI 42090 and CI 17200 is rare in sensitive skin products, requiring caution regarding pigment residue risks and batch stability.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
- Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas
- Boswellia Serrata Gum
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Ci 17200
- Acid Red 33 hair dye; restricted use, potential scalp irritation
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid
- Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
- Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Methylsilanol Mannuronate
- Water-soluble silicone for anti-static and smoothness; chemically stable, no known allergenic data
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Pantolactone
- Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- PEG-200
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- PEG-400
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Phytosphingosine Hcl
- Not decoded yet
- Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate/Sebacate
- Not decoded yet
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate/Caprate
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Cholate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
