Ingredients explained
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Calcium Carbonate
- Mineral particle used as abrasive or white filler; particle size dictates feel, control pH for oral use
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.
- Poloxamer 407
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Monofluorophosphate
- Antiplaque/caries agent in oral care; fluoride source restricted to oral products.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Zinc Citrate
- Zinc citrate; antimicrobial in oral care; restricted ingredient, verify compliance; safe at low levels
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Sodium bicarbonate; buffer and deodorant; alkaline at high pH, potential irritation, control dosage
- Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
- Anticaking/chelating agent for oral care; water-soluble, check compatibility with cationic surfactants.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Sucralose
- High-intensity sweetener used for taste correction or sensory adjustment in rinse-off formulations; no humectant function
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
