Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract
- Mint extract for cooling sensation; contains menthol, mild irritation potential.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
- Witch hazel leaf extract for astringency and skin care; common in soothing formulas
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Menthyl Lactate
- Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Polyquaternium-22
- Not decoded yet
- Linoleamidopropyl Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate
- Linoleic-based cationic conditioner, strong antistatic for dry hair, incompatible with anionic surfactants
- PEG-7 Amodimethicone
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-39
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hydrolyzed Potato Starch Dodecenylsuccinate
- Hydrolyzed potato starch anionic surfactant, biodegradable and mild, suitable for gentle cleansers
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide
- Non-ionic surfactant enhancing cleansing and emulsification; coconut-derived, gentle
- Disodium Tetrapropenyl Succinate
- Succinate-based amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and anti-corrosive support; gentle profile.
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Coconut Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsifying; strong surfactant, watch for over-drying in dry skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
