Ingredients explained
- Sodium Tallowate
- Animal-derived soap, strong degreasing; harsh foam dries skin, needs softeners, caution for sensitive/eczema skin, verify source compliance
- Sodium Cocoate
- Sodium cocoate, mild cleanser; 1–5% typical, high % irritation, sensitive skin
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Sodium Thiosulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Lanolin Alcohol
- Wool wax alcohol, animal-derived emollient and emulsifier with rich, occlusive feel; strict purification removes sensitization, but animal origin must be labeled.
- Tetrasodium Etidronate
- Chelating agent, stabilizer, restricted use, concentration dependent.
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Glyceryl Glucoside
- Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin
- Methyl Benzoate
- Ester solvent and preservative booster with fragrance; mild irritant, respect limits.
