Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
- Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- PPG-5-Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrogenated Coconut Acid
- Hydrogenated saturated fatty acid for emulsification and skin conditioning; coconut-derived, low irritancy.
- PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate
- Emollient/viscosity modifier for emulsions; contains PEG, monitor PEG-sensitive skin; adjust HLB for stability.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer thickener at 0.5–2%; incompatible with cationics, dilute first, PEG-modified
- Sodium Isethionate
- Mild surfactant with low foam but good cleaning; ideal for sensitive-skin cleansers.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Coumarin
- Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Amyl Cinnamal
- Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.
- Sodium Acetate
- Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes
- Cetrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Shea Butter
- Shea butter, occlusive emollient for dry skin and hair; high in lipids, caution for oily skin
- Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter
- Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.
- Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter
- Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
