Highlights
Contains sulfatesContains PEGContains animal-derivedContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains essential oils
Formulation view Aqueous clay mask using bentonite and kaolin for oil absorption, balanced with jojoba esters for moisture. Contains pomegranate and plant extracts for antioxidants; polylactic acid for gentle exfoliation. Stabilized with sulfate surfactants and chelators. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and chlorphenesin. Suitable for deep cleansing oily skin. Factory view: Mineral sedimentation is a key challenge; rheology must be optimized to ensure uniform texture after stirring without hard particle feel.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- Bentonite
- Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Peg-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Polylactic Acid
- Physical exfoliating abrasive; particle size must suit efficacy without scratching
- Sodium Palmamphoacetate
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters
- Lightweight emollient and film-former; improves hair slip, generally low concentration.
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Methyl Gluceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Lithium Magnesium Sodium Silicate
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 20

- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Yeast Amino Acids
- Yeast-derived soluble amino acid mix; potent humectant with small molecules for easy penetration, good for dry/damaged skin.
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Inositol
- Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin
- Taurine
- Taurine; buffering and chelating. Common in shampoos and eye washes, water-soluble.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Disodium Carboxyethyl Siliconate
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
