Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin
- PEG/PPG polybutylene glycerin humectant; monitor PEG oxidation and stability.
- PEG-32
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-6
- Not decoded yet
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract
- Extract with cooling scent and conditioning; contains essential oil, potential allergen, control dose
- Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate
- Mild anionic surfactant, easy to rinse, low irritation; often blended for foam stability in gentle cleansers
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
