Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Bentonite
- Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6
- Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7
- Mentha Piperita Oil
- Peppermint essential oil, strong cooling; highly irritating and sensitizing at high levels; dilute, avoid in sensitive skin.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin

- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
