Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Sodium Coco-Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant; effective cleansing, may cause dryness
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Distarch Phosphate
- Crosslinked starch phosphate; absorbent/anticaking, may feel dry at high levels
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Plumeria Alba Flower Extract
- White frangipani flower extract; complex floral profile, test for sensitization
- Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract
- Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Extract
- Extract with essential oil content; acts as binder, emulsion stabilizer, conditioner, thickener, and perfuming agent. Potential allergen.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Sodium Anisate
- Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
