Ingredients explained
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate
- Anionic surfactant for cleansing/foaming; can be irritating at high levels, blend with milder agents
- Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate
- Anionic surfactant for cleansing/foaming; may sensitize, caution for sensitive skin
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Lactococcus Ferment Lysate
- Lactococcus lysate; provides amino acids and polysaccharides for moisture, fermentation reduces allergens.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Azelaic Acid
- Acne and pigment agent; 15-20% can be irritating, needs controlled release or lower doses.
- Morinda Citrifolia Extract
- Herbal extract with astringent properties; used for antioxidant benefits
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract
- Bilberry fruit extract with polyphenols for soothing and skin protection, low concentration
- Zingiber Officinale Root Extract
- Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Hydrolyzed Algin
- Hydrolyzed algin, water-soluble film former; boosts moisture retention, low viscosity contribution
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Glycolate
- Gentle buffering salt for adjusting formulation pH; use with soaps within neutral range.
- Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate
- Mild amino acid chelator for metal ion sequestration; less irritating than EDTA, suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
