Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Adlay Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Water-Soluble Collagen
- Hydrating agent for skin elasticity; large molecule acts on surface, low concentration needed
- Edta-2Na
- Not decoded yet
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Polyquaternium-39
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Lauryl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; foaming and stabilizing. Eye irritation may exceed anionics, use low levels for sensitive skin.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
