Ingredients explained
- Pyrithione Zinc
- Anti-malassezia agent for dandruff control; 0.1–1% (shampoo) or 0.5–2% (body), slightly higher irritation
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- Zinc Pyrithione
- Anti-dandruff active for exfoliation, anti-sebum, and hair conditioning. Restricted in EU to 0.2% in cosmetics. Low irritancy.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- 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
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Aspartic Acid
- Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
- Pca
- Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch
- Hydrolyzed wheat starch for moisture and viscosity; gluten-derived, caution for gluten-sensitive or allergic populations.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Valine
- Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Isoleucine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Histidine
- Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.
- Phenylalanine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
- Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract
- Extract with cooling scent and conditioning; contains essential oil, potential allergen, control dose
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
