Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Betaine Salicylate
- Salicylate derivative for keratolytic and antimicrobial action; milder than salicylic acid.
- Mandelic Acid
- Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs
- Sarcosine
- Sarcosine, skin conditioning/pH buffer; check charge interaction with cationic surfactants.
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- T-Butyl Alcohol
- Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage
- Denatonium Benzoate
- Industrial denaturant to alter scent and prevent ingestion; not intended for cosmetic use, verify source compliance.
