Ingredients explained
- Stannous Fluoride
- Stannous fluoride for anti-plaque and cavity care in oral products; restricted, not for general skincare.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG-12
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
- Anticaking/chelating agent for oral care; water-soluble, check compatibility with cationic surfactants.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Zinc Phosphate
- Inorganic mineral buffer for oral care pH stability; rare in cosmetics, mainly industrial/toiletry raw material.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sucralose
- High-intensity sweetener used for taste correction or sensory adjustment in rinse-off formulations; no humectant function
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
