Ingredients explained
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycereth-2 Cocoate
- Cocoate emulsifier with cleansing and emulsifying functions; coconut-derived, watch for mild irritation from residual oleic acid.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- PPG-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 61570
- Synthetic dye, used in food/drugs; restricted in cosmetics, compliance labeling required.
- PEG-35 Castor Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Horse Chestnut Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Apigenin
- Flavonoid with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; unstable, protect from light.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Oleanolic Acid
- Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1
- Not decoded yet
- Calcium Pantothenate
- Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners
- Inositol
- Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin
- Linoleic Acid
- Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Biotin
- Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
