Formulation view This facial cleanser uses a water base with amino and amphoteric surfactants for balanced cleansing and gentleness. It includes Bifida ferment lysate and milk protein for biological conditioning, plus almond and coconut oils for moisture. Carbomer is used for thickening, with a preservation system containing chlorphenesin and sorbate. Suitable for daily facial cleansing, manufacturing focuses on biological ingredient stability at alkaline pH and compatibility of multiple preservatives.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant; high foaming and stripping power. Can be irritating to eyes and damaged skin

Coco-Betaine

Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil

Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin

Bifida Ferment Lysate

Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin

Lactose

Low-irritant humectant and skin conditioner, common in gentle formulations.

Lactis Proteinum/Milk Protein/Proteine De Lait

Milk protein; nourishing/conditioning; animal-derived, allergen concern; degrades easily

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Extract

Bergamot extract with citrus scent; phototoxic risk, best avoided in leave-on products exposed to sun.

Citrus Nobilis Fruit Extract

Citrus nobilis fruit extract; fragrance and conditioning; citrus, photo-sensitization/allergen risk

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid

Prunus Armeniaca Fruit Extract

Fruit extract rich in vitamins and enzymes for skin conditioning; prone to discoloration at high pH, add antioxidants

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract

Tahitian Gardenia flower extract, plant-based skincare and fragrance; may contain fragrance allergens, label required for leave-on products.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Polyquaternium-10

Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives

Maris Sal/Sea Salt/Sel Marin

Mineral salt blend for hydration; requires heavy metal removal; high concentrations can irritate compromised skin

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.

Ci 15985/Yellow 6

Water-soluble Yellow 6 dye; must comply with regulatory limits, toxicology warnings exist

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Phenethyl Alcohol

Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives

Ci 14700/Red 4

Red 4 pigment; oil-soluble dye; restricted or banned in cosmetics due to safety concerns; verify compliance status
