Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Cocoamphoacetate
- Mild amphoteric surfactant at 0.5–5%; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin, often paired with anionics.
- Glycereth-26
- Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate
- Emollient/viscosity modifier for emulsions; contains PEG, monitor PEG-sensitive skin; adjust HLB for stability.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- C11-15 Pareth-7
- Not decoded yet
- Laureth-9
- Not decoded yet
- Trideceth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil
- Light emollient oil rich in oleic acid; moderate comedogenic risk.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- PEG-10 Sunflower Glycerides
- Not decoded yet
- Punica Granatum Extract
- Pomegranate extract containing polyphenols; offers antioxidant and skin-protecting properties, often used in brightening formulas.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Extract
- Sunflower seed extract; flavonoids and oleic acid, 0.5–5%; antioxidant repair, match phase, low allergenicity
- Aspalathus Linearis Leaf Extract
- Rooibos leaf extract rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, used for antioxidant conditioning
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract
- Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.
- Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract
- Morinda fruit extract containing phenolics, claimed for antioxidant and brightening effects; botanical extract variability requires strict internal QC standards.
- Zingiber Officinale Root Extract
- Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
