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
- Ppg-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide
- Non-ionic surfactant enhancing cleansing and emulsification; coconut-derived, gentle
- Lauryl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; foaming and stabilizing. Eye irritation may exceed anionics, use low levels for sensitive skin.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Isostearamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate
- Not decoded yet
- Phytosterols
- Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocotrienols
- Vitamin E isomer; potent antioxidant for lipid protection and UV synergy, light and heat sensitive.
- Squalene
- Squalene, lightweight emollient, easily absorbed; animal sources restricted, plant sources preferred
- Oryza Sativa Bran Wax
- Rice bran wax for conditioning and film formation; hydrophobic, low comedogenicity.
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Methyl Gluceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate
- UV-B absorber, often as photostabilizer; 0.1–0.5% active; water-soluble, requires stable pairing
- Buteth-3
- Not decoded yet
- Tributyl Citrate
- Tributyl citrate plasticizer/solvent, low toxicity; hygroscopic, long-term protection from moisture/light
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tetrasodium Edta
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- 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
