Formulation view SLES with decyl glucoside for mild cleansing; amphoteric surfactants stabilize foam. Panthenol and glycerin for hydration; fungal and oat straw extracts for soothing. Phenoxylethanol and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate preserve. For sensitive skin daily cleansing, reducing tightness. Factory note: glucoside surfactants are biodegradable but need foam residue control; iodinated preservatives require safety assessment.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate
- Emollient/viscosity modifier for emulsions; contains PEG, monitor PEG-sensitive skin; adjust HLB for stability.
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Polyquaternium-39
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Laureth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin
- Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Fomes Officinalis Extract
- Mushroom extract traditionally used for soothing; limited modern data, used as natural concept additive, purity is key.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Pantolactone
- Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Avena Sativa Straw Extract
- Oat straw extract with saponins; soothing humectant for sensitive skin and barrier repair.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
