Formulation view A classic sulfate-based cleanser using SLES as the primary surfactant, buffered with betaine to reduce irritation. PEG-12 dimethicone enhances foam smoothness, while citric acid adjusts pH. Best for oily skin needing strong degreasing. From a factory view, high SLES concentration can compromise the barrier; the compatibility of silicone with water-soluble surfactants must be verified in small-scale tests to prevent phase separation.

Ingredients explained
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- PEG-12 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
- Trometamol
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
