Formulation view Soapless cleansing bar relying on sodium/potassium lauryl sulfate for strong lather, balanced with corn starch and hydrogenated castor oil. Enriched with calendula and resin extracts for soothing. Formulator note: High concentration of strong anionic surfactants ensures deep cleansing but may feel tight on dry skin; best for oily, resilient types. Resin extracts require allergy screening for sensitive users.

- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Mineral Oil/Huile Minerale
- Not decoded yet
- Water/Eau
- Water as base solvent; no irritation, but requires preservatives to prevent microbial growth.
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
- Calendula extract for soothing and repair; aqueous systems, monitor extract residues.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Potassium Phosphate
- pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions
- Styrax Benzoin Resin Extract
- Benzoin resin extract acting as film former and fragrance; resin components may cause sensitization, check allergen 26 labeling
- Boswellia Carterii Resin Extract
- Frankincense resin extract for fragrance and skin care; monitor for resin allergy cases
