Ingredients explained
- Water/Eau
- Water as base solvent; no irritation, but requires preservatives to prevent microbial growth.
- Undeceth-3
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Ethanolamine
- pH adjuster; restricted in cosmetics, potential sensitizer and irritant.
- Oleic Acid
- Oleic acid for emolliency/emulsification; high levels may increase skin penetration
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Resorcinol
- Resorcinol for keratolysis and antioxidant; restricted concentration; high allergenicity, strict compliance needed
- Hc Blue No. N0.2
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Ascorbic Acid
- Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Hc Yellow No. 2
- Not decoded yet
- Disperse Black 9
- Not decoded yet
- Disperse Blue 377
- Not decoded yet
- M-Aminophenol
- m-Aminophenol, hair dye intermediate, EU concentration limit; high skin sensitization, needs assessment.
