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
- 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
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil
- Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- 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
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Benzophenone-4
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Laureth-23
- Not decoded yet
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
