Formulation view Men's exfoliating scrub using charcoal and cellulose for physical adsorption and mild abrasion. Contains plant extracts (Centella, Licorice) for soothing. Denatured alcohol aids penetration and refreshes; arginine and lactose moisturize. Trace iron oxides adjust color. Ideal for oily, tolerant skin. Formulation insight: Combination of physical and chemical exfoliation requires controlled friction to avoid over-exfoliation; high alcohol content warrants caution for dry skin to prevent barrier compromise.

- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for thickening and moisturizing; synthetic polymer with low sensitization risk.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Iron Oxide Yellow
- Inorganic yellow pigment for product coloration; functions as a physical cover agent.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
