Formulation view Formula for cleansing cloths using mineral oil and isoparaffin base, infused with ceramides and niacinamide to support the skin barrier.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil/Huile Minerale
- Mineral oil; inert occlusive, low allergen risk; comedogenicity depends on purity grade.
- PEG-40 Stearate
- Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Ceramide AP
- Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids
- Ceramide EOP
- Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
