Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Disiloxane

Low-viscosity silicone for defoaming and slip; non-comedogenic, volatile, for light formulas.

Sulfur

Sebum-regulating and anti-seborrheic agent for acne; has distinct odor, low irritancy at standard levels but can be drying.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Kaolin

Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Polyacrylate-33

Not decoded yet

Hectorite

Clay absorbent and viscosity controller; used in silicone-free hair products.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Zingiber Officinale Root Oil

Ginger root oil for fragrance; contains gingerols, irritant, use very low concentration, avoid for sensitive skin.

Quartz

Mineral abrasive for physical exfoliation; particle size and polish critical, high hardness may damage stratum corneum.

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
