Formulation view Gentle shampoo combining SLES with betaine and glucosides to reduce irritation and enhance foam. Enriched with panthenol, goji extract, and cationic guar for hydration and softness. Preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. Suitable for mild cleansing. Formulator note: low-irritation system, but SLES base requires thorough rinsing near eyes; cationic polymers may build up, suggesting periodic clarifying washes.
