Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Sodium cocoyl glycinate; mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; precipitate in hard water, use chelators
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate
- Thickener and bulking agent for creams; 1-5%, avoid cationic systems
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- PEG-20M
- High molecular weight PEG, thickener and emulsion stabilizer; hydrophilic, adjusts gel structure
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Sodium Lauroyl Aspartate
- Sodium lauroyl aspartate, a gentle amino acid surfactant for cleansing and hair care; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder
- Tea polyphenol powder; exfoliation and antioxidants, grind size dictates abrasion
- Isopropyl Methylphenol
- Not decoded yet
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Styrene/Vp Copolymer
- Styrene/VP copolymer for film forming and fixation; used in hairsprays and primers, check breathability
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- PEG-32
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Polyquaternium-52
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Dodoxynol-40 Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Charcoal Powder
- Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.
- Polyglycerin-10
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl-10 Myristate
- Not decoded yet
- Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate
- Polyglyceryl-10 stearate emulsifier; multi-source, mild, co-emulsifier
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
