Formulation view Soap base with lauric and stearic acids, paired with coco glucoside for mild foam. Tea, green tea, and centella extracts soothe; low-concentration salicylic acid exfoliates; ceramides repair the barrier. Suitable for oily or combination skin. Formulator note: Soap bases harden in water, so balancing cleansing power and mildness requires precise pH regulation amidst multiple active ingredients.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Myristic Acid

Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.

Glycerin

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Lauric Acid

Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract

Tea tree (Melaleuca) extract for emollient skin conditioning; monitor sensitivity.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Hamamelis Virginiana Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract

Astringent and soothing botanical extract for sensitive or pore care, used at low levels.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Oil Soluble Licorice Extract

Not decoded yet

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

Oryza Sativa Bran Water

Rice bran water extract containing peptides and vitamins; used for fragrance and conditioning

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Polyquaternium-39

Not decoded yet

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Butylene Glycol

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Pentylene Glycol

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

4-Terpineol

Terpene derivative used primarily for fragrance; can be an allergen at high concentrations

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Papain

Protease for mild exfoliation; concentration must be controlled to avoid irritation.

Bromelain

Bromelain protease at 0.1–1% for gentle exfoliation; protein hydrolase, avoid long-term co-use with strong acids

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Sodium Benzoate
