Formulation view Foaming cleanser led by mild oat amino-acid surfactant, boosted with cocamidopropyl betaine and SLES for lather, buffered by glycerin and cornflower water. Oleanolic acid and NDGA target oily, blemish-prone skin. Preserved with phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin and MIT/CMIT; contains fragrance and dyes. For oily skin daily cleansing. Note: MIT/CMIT is rinse-off only; SLES may over-dry dry skin types.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids
- Oat amino acid surfactant; gentle cleansing and conditioning
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- PEG-60 Almond Glycerides
- Gentle almond-based PEG emulsifier; good for sensitive skin, monitor PEG hydrolysis
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Ci 14700
- Red azo dye restricted to hair dye products only; not for leave-on or general skin care
- Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid
- Lipid peroxide scavenger, BHT alternative; low dose (0.1–0.25%), check photostability
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Oleanolic Acid
- Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
