Ingredients explained

Water

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Glycerin

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

Lauric Acid

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

Myristic Acid

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

Potassium Hydroxide

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

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

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

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Glyceryl Stearate

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

Salicylic Acid

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

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract

Cryptomeria leaf extract, humectant & antioxidant; water-soluble, add at low temp to preserve.

Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract

Herbal extract for soothing; limited data, patch test recommended, avoid metal ions.

Saccharomyces Ferment

Yeast ferment extract with amino acids; skin conditioning agent for texture improvement, ferment filtrates may sensitize

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract

Chamomile extract used for soothing; check for potential sensitizing allergens.

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.

Butylene Glycol

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

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Sorbitan Olivate

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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