Formulation view Mixed surfactant system with SLES for lathering and betaine for mildness. Sodium chloride adjusts viscosity. Preservation uses DMDM and MIT/CMIT. Suitable for daily body cleansing. Factory note: MIT/CMIT is restricted for leave-on use; as a rinse-off product, precise concentration control is vital to minimize sensitization risks.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- 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
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- 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
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant; high foaming and stripping power. Can be irritating to eyes and damaged skin
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Red 40
- Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists
- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
- Benzalkonium Chloride
- Cationic preservative/disinfectant. Restricted in EU to 0.1% (0.6% ocular). Irritant; incompatible with anionic surfactants.
